Synthetic DNA "adapters" are attached to the ends of the fragments, allowing them to bind to the sequencing platform.
Proteinase K is added to break down cellular proteins and nucleases.
If the sample has low endogenous DNA (e.g., 99% of the DNA is from soil bacteria), researchers use "baits"—RNA probes that match the target genome—to "fish out" the human or animal DNA of interest. 5. Bioinformatic Authentication The final step is proving the DNA is actually ancient.
The silica-based extraction method is the industry standard. DNA binds to silica in the presence of high concentrations of chaotic salts, allowing impurities to be washed away before the DNA is eluted into a clean buffer. 4. Library Preparation and Sequencing
