Heat degradation of eukaryotic and bacterial DNA: an experimental model for paleomicrobiology
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Theoretical models suggest that DNA degradation would sharply limit the PCR-based detection of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic DNA within ancient specimens. However, the relative extent of decay of eukaryote and prokaryote DNA over t...
