Sequencing the mitochondrial genomes of these 39 remains revealed dynamic changes in DNA patterns over time.
But talk of 'sequencing' at least suggests, explicitly, that something will follow from this fiscal labour.
Knome, another company that does sequencing for researchers and individuals, has made similar comments.
