Journal ArticleDOI
An Efficient Multistrategy DNA Decontamination Procedure of PCR Reagents for Hypersensitive PCR Applications
Sophie Champlot,Camille Berthelot,Mélanie Pruvost,E. Andrew Bennett,Thierry Grange,Eva-Maria Geigl +5 more
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
Coat Color Variation at the Beginning of Horse Domestication
Arne Ludwig,Mélanie Pruvost,Mélanie Pruvost,Monika Reissmann,Norbert Benecke,Grudrun A. Brockmann,Pedro Castanos,Michael Cieslak,Sebastian Lippold,Laura Llorente,Anna-Sapfo Malaspinas,Montgomery Slatkin,Michael Hofreiter +12 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that it is unlikely that horse domestication substantially predates the occurrence of coat color variation, which was found to begin around the third millennium before the common era.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freshly excavated fossil bones are best for amplification of ancient DNA.
Mélanie Pruvost,Reinhard Schwarz,Virginia Bessa Correia,Sophie Champlot,Séverine Braguier,Nicolas Morel,Yolanda Fernández-Jalvo,Thierry Grange,Eva-Maria Geigl +8 more
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.

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.

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.
