Amplifying DNA from archeological remains: a meeting report.
D u r i n g the half-decade of its existence, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has transformed most areas of molecular biology. In the case of the study of DNA from archeologica] remains, PCR has created an entirely new field. Prior to PCR, only two papers appeared in which DNA sequences from old tissues were presented. (1,2) Since the advent of PCR, at least 10 such papers have been publish...
متن کاملAuthenticated DNA from ancient wood remains.
BACKGROUND The reconstruction of biological processes and human activities during the last glacial cycle relies mainly on data from biological remains. Highly abundant tissues, such as wood, are candidates for a genetic analysis of past populations. While well-authenticated DNA has now been recovered from various fossil remains, the final 'proof' is still missing for wood, despite some promisin...
متن کاملAuthenticating DNA Extracted From Ancient Skeletal Remains
The survival of DNA, the most informative biological molecule, for periods of at least several thousand years in bone was demonstrated more than four years ago. However, difficulties with authenticating ancient DNA have made diagenetic studies problematic. It is therefore essential that these problems be overcome before the question of DNA survival can be addressed. Here we describe our work wi...
متن کاملExtraction of DNA from Human Remains.
Improvements to analytical methods have made it possible for highly discriminative genotypic information to be gleaned from smaller and smaller amounts of sample material. This fact makes it practical to genotype samples or remains consisting of bone and tooth-samples that likely would not have yielded interpretable genotypic results a short time ago. In parallel, there have been improvements t...
