Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic resistance is ancient

TL;DR: Target metagenomic analyses of rigorously authenticated ancient DNA from 30,000-year-old Beringian permafrost sediments are reported and show conclusively that antibiotic resistance is a natural phenomenon that predates the modern selective pressure of clinical antibiotic use.
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights from old bones: DNA preservation and degradation in permafrost preserved mammoth remains

TL;DR: The initial DNA concentration in the bone tissue is found to be as relevant for the total accessible mitochondrial DNA as the extent of DNA degradation post-mortem, and there is evidence suggesting that mitochondrial DNA is better preserved than nuclear DNA in ancient permafrost samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

A quantitative approach to detect and overcome PCR inhibition in ancient DNA extracts.

TL;DR: Although some trends were apparent within sample types, differences in inhibition levels, optimal reactions conditions, and expected recovery of DNA under these conditions suggest that all samples be routinely tested with this approach.
