Molecular sexing of degraded DNA from elephants and mammoths: a genotyping assay relevant both to conservation biology and to paleogenetics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
It is important to determine the sex of elephants from their samples—faeces from the field or seized ivory—for forensic reasons or to understand population demography and genetic structure.

Paleogenomics and Archaeology: recent debates about the spread of steppe ancestry in Westernmost Europe

open access: yesАрхеология евразийских степей, 2022
The recent development of paleogenetics has had a large impact on much of archaeology. Particularly surprising has been the discovery of a connection between the Iberian Peninsula and the Eurasian steppes, an unexpected link between the first stages of ...

Hominids adapted to metabolize ethanol long before human-directed fermentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Paleogenetics is an emerging field that resurrects ancestral proteins from now-extinct organisms to test, in the laboratory, models of protein function based on natural history and Darwinian evolution. Here, we resurrect digestive alcohol dehydrogenases (

Évolution biologique et ADN ancien [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Après deux décennies de découvertes et de controverses, la paléogénétique semble, sinon avoir atteint l’âge de raison, du moins avoir délaissé les frasques de son impétueuse jeunesse.

Chronological and genetic analysis of an Upper Palaeolithic female infant burial from Borsuka Cave, Poland

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Six infant human teeth and 112 animal tooth pendants from Borsuka Cave were identified as the oldest burial in Poland. However, uncertainties around the dating and the association of the teeth to the pendants have precluded their association ...

Evolutionary modes in protein observable space: the case of Thioredoxins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this article, we investigated the structural and dynamical evolutionary behaviour of a set of ten thioredoxin proteins as formed by three extant forms and seven resurrected ones in laboratory.

Neolithic genomic data from southern France showcase intensified interactions with hunter-gatherer communities

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Archaeological research shows that the dispersal of the Neolithic took a more complex turn when reaching western Europe, painting a contrasted picture of interactions between autochthonous hunter-gatherers (HGs) and incoming farmers. In order to
