Thermal age, cytosine deamination and the veracity of 8,000 year old wheat DNA from sediments
2015-11-17
Abstract excerpt
Recently, the finding of 8,000 year old wheat DNA from submerged marine sediments (1) was challenged on the basis of a lack of signal of cytosine deamination relative to three other data sets generated from young samples of herbarium and museum specimens, and a 7,000 year old human skeleton preserved in a cave environment (2). The study used a new approach for low coverage data sets to which tools such as mapDamag...
