Twenty-Seven Y-Chromosome Short Tandem Repeats Analysis of Italian Mummies of the 16th and 18th Centuries: An Interdisciplinary Research

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Roccapelago (MO) is a small village located in the Northern Central Apennines, with a population of 31 inhabitants (2014). In 2010, more than 400 individuals dated between the end of the 16th and the 18th century, many of which partially mummified, were ...

Surveying the repair of ancient DNA from bones via high-throughput sequencing

BioTechniques, 2015
DNA damage in the form of abasic sites, chemically altered nucleotides, and strand fragmentation is the foremost limitation in obtaining genetic information from many ancient samples. Upon cell death, DNA continues to endure various chemical attacks such

Sequencing ancient DNA [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
The well-preserved mummy of an old man (Upper) is displayed in an exhibition in Denmark’s National Museum. The mummy was removed, as displayed, from an excavation in 1875 at Borum Eshoj, near Aarhus, Denmark. Carpenter and colleagues used hair samples from the mummy to isolate ancient DNA and validate the technique.

Genomic data suggest parallel dental vestigialization within the xenarthran radiation

Peer Community Journal, 2023
The recent influx of genomic data has provided greater insights into the molecular basis for regressive evolution, or vestigialization, through gene loss and pseudogenization.

Carbon storage and DNA absorption in allophanic soils and paleosols [PDF]

, 2014
Andisols and andic paleosols dominated by the nanocrystalline mineral allophane sequester large amounts of carbon (C), attributable mainly to its chemical bonding with charged hydroxyl groups on the surface of allophane together with its physical ...

Exploring relationships between host genome and microbiome: new insights from genome-wide association studies.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
As our understanding of the human microbiome expands, impacts on health and disease continue to be revealed. Alterations in the microbiome can result in dysbiosis, which has now been linked to subsequent autoimmune and metabolic diseases, highlighting ...
