Zeberg has conducted research studies on how gene variants inherited from Neanderthals influence occurrence of severe complications from Covid-19. He has also worked with Svante Pääbo for years and published a collaborative study in the journal Nature in 2020, providing evidence suggesting a role for genetics in the severity of COVID-19. He ...
In 2020, research by Zeberg and Paabo found that a major genetic risk factor for severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neanderthals. “We compared it to the Neanderthal genome and it was a perfect ...
The remnants of Neanderthal DNA are more common in people from Europe and Asia. They could confer an advantage during a coronavirus infection.
A broader study on Neanderthal ancestry, published Thursday in the journal Science, that analyzed information from the genomes of 59 ancient humans and those of 275 living humans corroborated the ...
Neanderthal genomes sequenced include those from Denisova Cave [8] [9] [10] including an offspring of a Neanderthal and a Denisovan, [11] from Chagyrskaya Cave, [12] from Vindija Cave, [13] [9] [14] Mezmaiskaya cave, Les Cottés cave, Goyet Caves and Spy Cave, [14] Hohlenstein-Stadel and Scladina caves [15] Galería de las Estatuas [16] and ...
In 2020, Hugo Zeberg and Svante Pääbo determined that more severe impacts upon victims of the COVID-19 disease, including the vulnerability to it and the incidence of the necessity of hospitalisation, have been associated via DNA analysis to be expressed in genetic variants at chromosomal region 3, features that are associated with European ...
A similar study published last year had identified genetic traces of an encounter between the two groups around 250,000 years ago but the contribution of Homo sapiens DNA to Neanderthals around ...
Much of the book is devoted to his research team's efforts at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology towards mapping the Neanderthal genome as part of the Neanderthal genome project. This work brought Pääbo international fame and recognition with the publication of an initial draft of the genome in the journal Science in 2010 ...
