DNA polymorphism in loci associated with the adaptation of barley to environmental conditions, when comparing seed samples from archaeological excavations of the 12th century with the VIR collection accessions of different geographical origin

Биотехнология и селекция растений
When studying the DNA polymorphism of ancient seeds from archaeological excavations, and comparing them with modern ones, it is possible, depending on the evolutionary significance/neutrality of the identified differences, to either find traces of ...

Proměny přístupů studia neandertálců – s příkladem výzkumů v Portugalsku

AntropoWebzin, 2012
Neandetherthal skeletal remains are the first described and longest-studied modern human ancestors. The history of research on Neanderthals dates back to the discovery of the first specimen in the Feldhoffer cave in 1856. Initially, the debate focused on

PCR test to determine whether the destroyed remains of carbonized seeds belong to the genus Hordeum L.

Биотехнология и селекция растений
During excavations of historical monuments, archaeologists find various artifacts that testify to the existence and everyday life of our distant ancestors. Particular attention is paid to the remains of living organisms. They not only provide evidence of

Assessing the performance of short 18S rDNA markers for environmental DNA metabarcoding of marine protists

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 4, July–August 2024.
Protists are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems, where they perform vital functions. Their diverse nature and limited fossil record make DNA metabarcoding coupled with sedimentary ancient DNA a promising avenue to characterize past ecosystem responses to perturbations.

Neanderthal had a “crush” on fats. Macronutrient estimation in Middle Paleolithic (Late Mousterian) hunter-gatherers of southern Italy

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
During the Late Mousterian period Apulia (southeastern Italy) was characterized by frequent and prolonged aridity that could have caused the scarcity of vegetable foods and, consequently, a lack of important nutritional compounds.

Novel substrates as sources of ancient DNA: : prospects and hurdles [PDF]

, 2017
Following the discovery in the late 1980s that hard tissues such as bones and teeth preserve genetic information, the field of ancient DNA analysis has typically concentrated upon these substrates.

Mitochondrial DNA Suggests a Western Eurasian origin for Ancient (Proto-) Bulgarians [PDF]

, 2015
Ancient (proto-) Bulgarians have long been thought to as a Turkic population. However, evidence found in the past three decades show that this is not the case. Until now, this evidence does not include ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis. In order
