Journal ArticleDOI

An Efficient Multistrategy DNA Decontamination Procedure of PCR Reagents for Hypersensitive PCR Applications

TL;DR: A versatile multistrategy decontamination procedure for PCR reagents is developed that allows efficient reagent decontamination while preserving the efficiency of PCR amplification of minute quantities of DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Freshly excavated fossil bones are best for amplification of ancient DNA.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that freshly excavated and nontreated unwashed bones contain six times more DNA and yield twice as many authentic DNA sequences as bones treated with standard procedures, and calls for a revision of the postexcavation treatment of fossil bones to better preserve the genetic heritage of past life forms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tracking Five Millennia of Horse Management with Extensive Ancient Genome Time Series

Antoine Fages, +135 more
- 30 May 2019 - 
TL;DR: This extensive dataset allows us to assess the modern legacy of past equestrian civilizations and finds that two extinct horse lineages existed during early domestication, and the development of modern breeding impacted genetic diversity more dramatically than the previous millennia of human management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ancient genomic changes associated with domestication of the horse

TL;DR: Early domestication selection patterns supporting the neural crest hypothesis are found, which provides a unified developmental origin for common domestic traits and reveals that Iron Age Scythian steppe nomads implemented breeding strategies involving no detectable inbreeding and selection for coat-color variation and robust forelimbs.
