Duplex Alu Screening for Degraded DNA of Skeletal Human Remains
The human-specific Alu elements, belonging to the class of Short INterspersed Elements (SINEs), have been shown to be a powerful tool for population genetic studies. An earlier study in this department showed that it was possible to analyze Alu presence/absence in 3000-year-old skeletal human remains from the Bronze Age Lichtenstein cave in Lower Saxony, Germany. We developed duplex Alu screeni...
متن کاملBioarchaeology: Scientific Studies of Archaeological Human Skeletal Remains
Bioarchaeology is an interdisciplinary academic specialty, which through the scientific analysis and interpretation of archaeological human skeletal remains, bridges the link between the biological sciences, medicine, anthropology and social sciences. The cornerstone of bioarchaeology is the interaction between culture and human biology. Since the study of people and ancient societies is one of...
متن کامل3.7 billion year old biogenic remains
3.7 Billion year old inclusions inside garnet crystals contain 13C depleted carbonaceous material consistent with biogenic origin. Additional evidence in the form of the other elements of life mainly O, N and P were found to be structural bound to this material by using a new technique, AFM-IR. Here we show additional evidence that support our claim. By overlaying maps generated by the AFM-IR w...

Amongst the most significant of such archaeological findings are cemeteries with their cultural implications, which provide...
متن کاملAlu in Lynch syndrome: a danger SINE?
Lynch syndrome is a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germline loss of a DNA mismatch repair gene. In a significant proportion of cases, loss of function of the MSH2 mismatch repair gene is caused by large heterogeneous deletions involving MSH2 and/or the adjacent EPCAM gene. These deletions usually result from homologous malrecombination events between Alu elements, a family ...
