Ancient DNA for the Archaeologist
Evidence for Differential Ancient DNA Survival in Human and Pig Bones from the Norse North Atlantic
Current models of DNA degradation and previous research on Icelandic human skeletons predict ancient DNA preservation in the Norse North Atlantic faunal remains to be excellent. In contrast, we found that DNA preservation in Viking-Age pig remains was poor. We posit that this discrepancy in DNA survival between human and faunal remains is due to differing taphonomies. Our results highlight that DNA degradation is strongly dictated by micro-enviro…
Independent confirmation of a diagnostic sheep/goat peptide sequence through DNA analysis and further exploration of its taxonomic utility within the Bovidae
Complex Relationships Between Mitochondrial and Nuclear Dna Preservation in Historical Dna Extracts
‘Historical’ DNA obtained from specimens preserved in natural history collections has proven useful for addressing a wide variety of questions, such as the spread of domesticated species or changes in genetic diversity. With the development of high‐throughput sequencing techniques, there is an increasing focus on acquiring genetic information encoded by single‐copy nuclear DNA from historical DNA extracts. The development of efficient techniques …
Truth in the Bones
Our multidisciplinary study of historic Thoroughbred horses solves two long‐running mysteries in racing history. Eclipse, the greatest racehorse ever known, never lost a race. His skeleton is housed in the Royal Veterinary College, London; however, there is controversy over its authenticity. The 1880 Epsom Derby was won by Bend Or. In one of the great controversies of Thoroughbred racing, the owners of Bend Or were accused of swapping him with an…
