The Neandertal Genome Browser
The Neandertal genome browser displays data for 1x coverage of the Neandertal genome derived from 3 Neandertal individuals from Vindija cave, Croatia.
Data is available for each individual, as well as for a combined consensus of the three individuals.
A more extensive description of the data is available here
The browser presents a mapping of the Neandertal genome sequencing reads to the human genome, rather than an independent assembly of the Neandertal genome.

Data Access
Alignments to human (hg18) are available for a combined consensus of reads from 6 Neandertal individuals, as well as for each individual separately.
All sequences derived from the 6 fossils as well as Modern Human Sequencing reads are available from the European Short Read Archive (ERA).
