Recently, natural DNA has emerged as an appealing biomacromolecule for functional
materials. It is abundant and renewable, and possesses the well known double helix …

Despite the widespread use of bones in ancient DNA (aDNA) studies, relatively little
concrete information exists in regard to how the DNA in mineralised collagen degrades, or …

The complexation of nucleic acids and collagen forms a platform biomaterial greater than
the sum of its parts. This union of biomacromolecules merges the extracellular matrix …

Sub-fossilised remains may still contain highly degraded ancient DNA (aDNA) useful for
palaeogenetic investigations. Whether X-ray computed [micro-] tomography ([μ] CT) imaging …

Nucleic acid–collagen complexes (NACCs) are a self-assembled biomimetic fibrillary
platform arising from the spontaneous complexation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) …

Ancient molecular typing depends on DNA survival in archaeological bones. Finding
valuable tools to predict DNA presence in ancient samples, which can be measured prior to …

Over the last few years, palaeogenomic studies of the petrous bone (the densest part of the
temporal bone) have shown that it is a source of DNA in both larger quantities and of better …

DNA is a highly polyanionic biomolecule that complexes with both collagen and
hydroxyapatite. By combining these complexes, we synthesized nucleic-acid collagen …

DNA analysis plays a crucial role in forensic investigations, helping in criminal cases,
missing persons inquiries, and archaeological research. This study focuses on the DNA …

Skeletal remains are commonly subjected to various analyses, including DNA. As the
remains are exposed to taphonomic processes after the death of the organism, their …
