Abstract excerpt
C/G-->T/A nucleotide alterations have been shown to hamper the straightforward interpretation of mitochondrial DNA sequence data derived from ancient tissues. Attempting to characterise this finding with respect to nuclear DNA, we contrasted two established protocols: (i) an enzymatic repair of damaged DNA, thereby translating and closing nicks in the DNA, and (ii) the application of N-phenacylthiazolium bromide,...
