Epigenetics of Ancient DNA [PDF]
Acta Naturae, 2016 Initially, the study of DNA isolated from ancient specimens had been based on the analysis of the primary nucleotide sequence. This approach has allowed researchers to study the evolutionary changes that occur in different populations and determine the influence of the environment on genetic selection.

A quantitative approach to detect and overcome PCR inhibition in ancient DNA extracts
BioTechniques, 2009 Inhibition is problematic in many applications of PCR, particularly those involving degraded or low amounts of template DNA, when simply diluting the extract is undesirable. Two basic approaches to monitoring inhibition in such samples using real-time or

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
