A High-Throughput Ancient DNA Extraction Method for Large-Scale Sample Screening. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Large‐scale DNA screening of palaeontological and archaeological collections remains a limiting and costly factor for ancient DNA studies. Several DNA extraction protocols are routinely used in ancient DNA laboratories and have even been automated on robotic platforms.

Neandertal Cold Adaptation: Technological, Anatomical, and Physiological Responses to Cold Stress in One of Our Closest Fossil Relatives. [PDF]
Am J Hum BiolABSTRACT Neandertals occupied western Eurasia for over 100 000 years, repeatedly enduring climates that ranged from seasonally cold to glacial. This paper reexamines the question of Neandertal cold adaptation using updated fossil, physiological, and archaeological evidence.

Genetic Structure and Phylogeographic Divergence of Thymallus brevicephalus in the Ob-Irtysh River Headwaters. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT Clarifying the genetic structure and population history of a species can reveal the impacts of historical climate and geological changes, providing critical insights for developing effective conservation strategies for ecologically significant fish. The Markakol grayling (Thymallus brevicephalus), an endangered species found in the Altai‐Sayan

Geoarchaeology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 594-616, July/August 2022., 2022 Abstract Central Asian caves with Palaeolithic deposits are few, but they provide a rich record of human fossils and cultural assemblages that has been used to model Late Pleistocene hominin dispersals. However, previous research has not yet systematically evaluated the formation processes that influence the frequency of Palaeolithic cave sites in the ...

On Periodic Groups and Shunkov Groups that are Saturated by Dihedral Groups and $A_5$
Известия Иркутского государственного университета: Серия "Математика", 2017 A group is said to be periodic, if any of its elements is of finite order. A Shunkov group is a group in which any pair of conjugate elements generates Finite subgroup with preservation of this property when passing to factor groups by finite Subgroups ...

Filling the gap. Human cranial remains from Gombore II (Melka Kunture, Ethiopia; ca. 850 ka) and the origin of Homo heidelbergensis [PDF]
, 2016 African archaic humans dated to around 1,0 Ma share morphological affinities with Homo ergaster and appear distinct in cranio-dental morphology from those of the Middle Pleistocene that are referred to Homo heidelbergensis.

Optimal Seed Solver: Optimizing Seed Selection in Read Mapping [PDF]
, 2015 Motivation: Optimizing seed selection is an important problem in read mapping. The number of non-overlapping seeds a mapper selects determines the sensitivity of the mapper while the total frequency of all selected seeds determines the speed of the ...

Russia-UK collaboration in paleontology: past, present, and future [PDF]
, 2017 There is a long history of collaboration between Russia and the United Kingdom in paleontology. This began, arguably, in 1821, with the seminal work by William Fox-Strangways, who produced a geological map of the area around St Petersburg. Most famously,

Locally finite groups containing a 2 -element with Chernikov centralizer [PDF]
, 2014 Suppose that a locally finite group G has a 2-element g with Chernikov centralizer. It is proved that if the involution in ⟨g⟩ has nilpotent centralizer, then G has a soluble subgroup of finite ...
