DNA sequences from multiple amplifications reveal artifacts induced by cytosine deamination in ancient DNA

Hofreiter, Michael, Jaenicke, Viviane, Serre, David, Haeseler, Arndt Von, Pääbo, Svante

We show that DNA molecules amplified by PCR from DNA extracted from animal bones and teeth that vary in age between 25 000 and over 50 000 years carry C→T and G→A substitutions. These...
