Characterization of Nucleotide Misincorporation Patterns in the Iceman's Mitochondrial DNA

The degradation of DNA represents one of the main issues in the genetic analysis of archeological specimens. In the recent years, a particular kind of post-mortem DNA modification giving rise to nucleotide misincorporation ("miscoding lesions") has been the object of extensive investigatio...
