Apparently, at the level of genetic sequences, systematic errors creep into any analysis, distorting our ancestry.Now, researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory s European Bioinformatics Institute have revealed the source of these systematic errors in comparative genetic sequencing and have devised a new computational tool that avoids these errors and provides accurate insights into the ev...
