Primer extension capture: targeted sequence retrieval from heavily degraded DNA sources.

Sep 2009 We present a method of targeted DNA sequence retrieval from DNA sources which are heavily degraded and contaminated with microbial DNA, as is typical of ancient bones. The method greatly reduces sample destruction and sequencing demands relative to ... Read more...

Targeted retrieval and analysis of five Neandertal mtDNA genomes.

15 Jul 2009 Analysis of Neandertal DNA holds great potential for investigating the population history of this group of hominins, but progress has been limited due to the rarity of samples and damaged state of the DNA. We present a method of targeted ancient DNA ... Read more...

Perfluorooctanoic acid stimulated mitochondrial biogenesis and gene transcription in rats.

14 Jul 2009 Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), used in the production of non-stick surface compounds, exhibits a worldwide distribution in the serum of humans and wildlife. In rodents PFOA transactivates PPARalpha and PPARgamma nuclear receptors and increases ... Read more...
