Abstract excerpt
We have studied the feasibility of using dinucleotide-repeat microsatellites in the analysis of DNA from ancient bones and teeth. We have used three microsatellites (IVS8CA, IVS17BTA, and IVS17BCA) within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene in 28 DNA samples from bones and teeth of up to 5000 years of age. PCR amplification was successful in 71.4% of cases. The repeated analysis of each...
