Effectiveness of Decontamination protocols when Analyzing Ancient DNA Preserved in Dental Calculus

2020-12-31

Abstract excerpt

Ancient DNA analysis of human oral microbial communities within calcified dental plaque (calculus) has revealed key insights into human health, paleodemography, and cultural behaviors. However, contamination imposes a major concern for paleomicrobiological samples due to their low endogenous DNA content and exposure to environmental sources, calling into question some published results. Decontamination protocols (...
