Product Information

DNA extraction and sequencing of these modern and museum samples were conducted in the modern laboratory at the Archaeology Department of Durham University, following standard protocols (Supplementary Note 4). The cytb region was amplified in 10 overlapping fragments and a variety of primer combinations was used depending on the nature of the sample (Supplementary Table 6). The sequencing reaction was carried out by the DNA Sequencing Service at the School of Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Durham University. The sequencing chromatograms were edited manually, subsequently assembled, and a consensus sequence per individual exported using Geneious R6 version 6.0.6 ( https://www.geneious.com). Standard anti-contamination guidelines were followed. We successfully amplified cytb sequences from 202 of 292 samples. Only those that possessed >90% gene coverage were included in the analysis, which left 132 sequences. Ancient DNA extraction and processing Tchernov, E.

Among the many laboratory experiments, rat dissection is a compulsory exercise for science students. The anatomy of a rat can be classified into two parts, namely, external and internal. With reference to the internal anatomy, students are expected to study the important organ systems along with their respective organs. For example, parts of the digestive system encompass esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. By actually seeing the organs, a student can understand more about the digestion process. Likewise, the nervous system, circulatory system, reproductive system, and excretory system are studied for this mammal. External Anatomy

NaF was injected intravenously via a tail vein into male (n = 15, 32.3 ± 6.4 MBq) and female rats (n = 18, 32.2 ± 4.5 MBq) under brief isoflurane/oxygen anaesthesia. The rats (n = 6 for each time point) were sacrificed via cardiac puncture under increased anaesthesia at 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, or 360 min after injecting the tracer. Blood, urine, and organs of interest were removed, weighed, and measured for 18F-radioactivity in a NaI(Tl) well counter (3 × 3-inch, Bicron, Newbury, USA). The uptake of 18F-radioactivity was expressed as the percentage of the injected dose per gram of tissue (% inj.dose/g) or as the organ-to-blood ratio. The binding of [ 18F]fluoride to plasma proteins was determined by ultrafiltration, as previously described [ 11]. We used a haematocrit value of 41% [ 12] for calculating the portion of [ 18F]fluoride that bound to erythrocytes. Eble DM, Deaton TG, Wilson FC Jr, Bawden JW.

Archaeologists have often relied on the remains of domestic animals as well as game animals to judge human activity. They’ve used them to learn what humans were most likely to hunt ( gazelle at Jebel Irhoud, but also zebras, porcupines, and snakes), the role they played in wiping out megafauna on larger islands like Zanzibar, and how farming disrupted different animals’ relationships with one another.

Rat populations are stable around much of the world. One of the largest threats to rats is habitat loss. Energy development, human development, predation by cats and other predators, grazing and water pollution are other threats to rats. Fourteen ancient rat bones were directly radiocarbon dated via accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) on bone collagen at Manheim (MAMS), University of Waikato (Wk), and Oxford University (OxA). These were analysed alongside two previously published dates from Gatehampton 92 (Supplementary Data 3). One additional sample (SNE002/Wk-51521) failed due to insufficient collagen. All radiocarbon dates were calibrated in OxCal 4.4 93, using the IntCal20 calibration curve 94. Smith, R.

Reviews

Our finding that [ 18F]fluoride did not bind to plasma proteins was reported previously. This property is considered an advantage of [ 18F]fluoride, compared to [ 99mTc]diphosphonate, which showed 25–70% binding to plasma proteins [ 2]. Due to the lower molecular weight of fluoride compared to phosphonates, [ 18F]fluoride has a higher single-passage extraction efficiency compared to phosphonates [ 2]. The [ 18F]fluoride uptake we measured in bone marrow was consistent with the findings of Blake et al. [ 2], who speculated that the uptake in red blood cells might reflect the uptake of immature erythrocytes in bone marrow. That fascination with making the most of the leftover bits from a dig spurred Swift and her colleagues to analyze 145 rat bones from three Polynesian island systems in the Pacific. The rodents, considered invasive, disease-carrying pests in life, proved surprisingly useful in death. By measuring the chemical composition of the rat bones, the researchers could make inferences not only about what humans were eating around 2,000 years ago, but also how their early residence on the islands—Mangareva, Tikopia and Ua Huka (also known as Marquesas)—shaped the environment. The cytb region of the mitochondrial genome haplotypes were extracted using MEGA7, and combined with modern cytb haplotypes from previous publications 10, 24, 69, 70 and this study. We aligned the data using MAFFT v7.123b 124, then built a ML tree using RAxML v8.2.9 123, with GTR + I + G model and 1000 bootstrap replicates. It is possible to hand in the collected bones in smaller batches. The Odd Old Man will kindly update the wish list, taking off the bone(s) you've submitted.
