First million-year-old genome New Scientist
The oldest animal genome sequenced so far is 700,000 years old. It came from the fossil of a horse found in north-west Canada and was published in June this year.

The big prize would be a distant human ancestor, such as Homo erectus, which emerged about 2 million years ago.
Lost world under Antarctica uncovered New Scientist
Last year a Russian team finally drilled into Lake Vostok, a subglacial body of water over 500 metres deep, buried under 4 kilometres of Antarctic ice. The samples they brought up are laced with DNA, which is now being analyzed to determine whether there is life in Vostok. Next year we will discover just what, if anything, lurks within the lake. Contamination from the drills could be an issue, but should researchers discover life unique to Vostok, what it looks like will be of most interest.
