Technical note: improved DNA extraction from ancient bones using silica-based spin columns.

چکیده
We describe a simple method for extracting polymerase chain reaction-amplifiable DNA from ancient bones without the use of organic solvents. Bone powders are digested with proteinase K, and the DNA is purified directly using silica-based spin columns (QIAquick3, QIAGEN). The efficiency of this protocol is demonstrated using human bone samples ranging in age from 15 to 5,000 years old.

Comparison and optimization of ancient DNA extraction.
Ancient DNA analyses rely on the extraction of the tiny amounts of DNA remaining in samples that are hundreds to tens of thousands of years old. Despite the critical role extraction efficiency plays in this field of research, no study has comprehensively compared ancient DNA extraction techniques to date. There are a wide range of methods currently in use, which rely on such disparate principle...
متن کاملA rapid column-based ancient DNA extraction method for increased sample throughput.
Genetic analyses using museum specimens and ancient DNA from fossil samples are becoming increasingly important in phylogenetic and especially population genetic studies. Recent progress in ancient DNA sequencing technologies has substantially increased DNA sequence yields and, in combination with barcoding methods, has enabled large-scale studies using any type of DNA. Moreover, more and more ...
متن کاملLabdisk Integrated Dna Extraction from Whole Blood Using Magnetic Particles
Integration of sample preparation is a key issue in the development of point of care diagnostic devices. We address the integration of a magnetic-particle based DNA extraction from 200 μl of whole blood into a centrifugal-microfluidic LabDisk. Quality of LabDisk extracted DNA was compared to DNA extracted by commercial spin columns as golden standard with four independent extractions from one b...
متن کاملImproving access to endogenous DNA in ancient bones and teeth
Poor DNA preservation is the most limiting factor in ancient genomic research. In the majority of ancient bones and teeth, endogenous DNA molecules represent a minor fraction of the whole DNA extract, rendering shot-gun sequencing inefficient for obtaining genomic data. Based on ancient human bone samples from temperate and tropical environments, we show that an EDTA-based enzymatic 'pre-digest...
متن کاملA simple and efficient method for PCR amplifiable DNA extraction from ancient bones.
A simple and effective modified ethanol precipitation-based protocol is described for the preparation of DNA from ancient human bones. This method is fast and requires neither hazardous chemicals nor special devices. After the powdering and incubating of the bone samples Dextran Blue was added as a carrier for removing the PCR inhibitors with selective ethanol precipitation. This method could e...
