Comparing Genomes

[too-open-minded]

If we were to compare Homosapiens with Homoneanderthal, HomoHominid, HomoErectus, or even Australopithecus. What similarities would we share?

 

The Homosapein to mice to chimps is pretty cool - https://genomics.soe.ucsc.edu/research/comp_genomics/human_chimp_mouse

 

So I can't find any genome templates (Not sure what exactly to call it?) of Neanderthal, Erectus, Hominid, Or Australopithecus. The best I've found is from the national center of biotechnological information - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Selector/taxse.cgi

 

They have Neanderthal and Denisovan Hominin. Yet it's coded for a program so I can't really see it - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Utils/wprintgc.cgi?mode=c#SG1

 

I really want to see our genome similarities.

 

Please SF, help

Put simply, sequencing and assembling a genome from a living species is non-trivial in the amount of time and money which needs to be invested. Sequencing DNA from extinct species is exponentially more difficult, to the point of being impossible if all available tissue is degraded. Hence, complete genome sequences for Erectus, Hominid, Or Australopithecus do not yet exist, and potentially never will. The Neanderthal genome does exist, but is fraught with contamination issues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_genome_project#Criticism

 

​Here's a list of available complete eukaryotic genome sequences http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sequenced_eukaryotic_genomes

You're awesome, thankyou!

 

You know of any sites or sources that can explain genetics and the assembly/sequence of genomes?
