Ancient Reconstructed Proteins: A Framework for Resurrecting Protein Structures from Million-Year-Old Metagenomes

2026-08-22

Abstract excerpt

DNA sequences derived from ancient samples provide insights into human history, paleoenvironments, and evolutionary biology. Advances in laboratory techniques and computational tools have established ancient DNA research as a distinct field. However, current analyses focus mainly on the DNA level, while the protein space remains under-explored. Recent progress in the de novo assembly of ancient metagenomes and the...
