• Ancient plant DNA in archaeobotany (2008, background): “It has emerged however, that cold, dry and/or low oxygen environments are beneficial for DNA survival; for this reason, freshly excavated material is best stored cold or frozen (Burger et al. 1999; Smith et al. 2001; Pruvost et al. 2007).”
• Ancient DNA analysis of 101 cattle remains: limits and prospects (2004, background): “However, all the archaeological contexts from which the samples originated, in these arid or semi-arid areas studied, were strongly submitted to weather influences, and the low success rates seen in bones from these environments appear to be in concordance with the concept that the thermal history o”
• From the field to the laboratory: Controlling DNA contamination in human ancient DNA research in the high-throughput sequencing era (2017, unknown): “Therefore, good bio-molecular preservation is the exception rather than the rule, and depends on two linked factors: environment and time (Herrmann and Hummel 1994; Broth-well and Pollard 2001; Smith et al. 2001; Smith et al. 2003).”
• Characterization of primary biogenic aerosol particles in urban, rural, and high-alpine air by DNA sequence and restriction fragment analysis of ribosomal RNA genes (2007, background): “It breaks into smaller pieces and is chemically modified (Pääbo, 1989; Lindahl, 1993; Höss et al., 1996; Smith et al., 2001).”
• Genetic analyses from ancient DNA. (2004, background): “Given that the chemical properties of DNA probably restrict the survival of any molecules to this side of a million years even in favorable environments where low temperatures and dry conditions slow the rate of chemical processes that degrade DNA (65, 133, 134, 164, 165), what has the study of anci”
