  1. 1. Archaeological dental calculus reveals patterns of dietary shifts related to the farming transition in Africa

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Ivany Jocelyne Argueta Mejia; [2023]
    Nyckelord :dental calculus; ancient DNA; oral microbiome; shotgun sequencing; biofilm; metagenomics;

    Sammanfattning : Archaeological dental calculus represents a depositional environment that entraps oral microbes, and debris of dietary, environmental, and cultural material that entered the mouth throughout the host’s life. Hence, they represent valuable archives of information about the host’s lifestyle, health, and environment. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Developing an Advanced Method for Kinship from Ancient DNA Data

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Erkin Alacamli; [2023]
    Nyckelord :aDNA; ancient DNA; kinship estimation;

    Sammanfattning :  The analysis of kinship from ancient DNA (aDNA) data has the potential to provide insight into social structures of prehistoric societies. Kinship analysis is gaining popularity as optimised wet-lab methods allow for studies with sample sizes on the level of whole cemeteries. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Vilken ny kunskap ger aDNA-analyser om vegetationsutvecklingen i Nordeuropa under och efter Weichsel-istiden?

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

  7. 5. A bear-y strong comeback: Investigating temporal genomic consequences of a recent demographic bottleneck in the Scandinavian brown bear

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Amanda Lindahl; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Evolutionary biology; ancient DNA; bottleneck; whole-genome sequencing;

    Sammanfattning : The Scandinavian brown bear went through a severe bottleneck due to human actions in the early 1900’s that reduced the population to low numbers. After protective measures were taken, the population recovered and today it consists of around 3000 individuals. LÄS MER
