Genetic history of an archaic hominin group from Denisova Cave in Siberia
David Reich, Richard E. Green, Martin Kircher et al., 2010. Nature 468: 1053-1060.
The nuclear genome of the Denisova finger bone shows a sister group of Neanderthals, named Denisovans, who contributed about 4-6% of the genomes of present-day Melanesians.
What it's used for here
Defines Denisovans as a population and shows their legacy in living people.
