Lasting effects of Neandertal DNA on gene expression in modern humans
Approximately 2% of the DNA in the genomes of modern humans of non-African descent comes from Neandertals and recent studies have shown this DNA contributes to… Read more »
Michael Dannemann is Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
Michael’s research interests focus on the impact of Neandertal introgression on modern human phenotypes, and the analysis of the modern human specific gene expression and gene expression regulation.
Janet Kelso is a computational biologist and Group leader of the Minerva Research Group for Bioinformatics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
Janet has been involved in numerous genome projects, including a number of genomes of archaic and early modern humans, as well as the genomes of the bonobo and the kiwi.
She is a Fellow and Executive Officer of the International Society for Computational Biology and is co-Executive Editor of the journal Bioinformatics.
