The CASANDRA project focuses on enhancing the recovery of ancient DNA from cave sediments by studying how clay minerals preserve genetic material. By developing a tailored extraction protocol, it aims to improve the efficiency of sedaDNA studies, which can shed light on past ecosystems and climate changes.
Unlocking Earth’s history depends on a reliable interpretation of the remnants of the past that can withstand degradation.
Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) offers a unique genetic archive of paleoorganisms enabling reconstruction of paleoenvironments, paleomigrations and evolutionary change.
However, sedaDNA recovery is expensive and inefficient only a small fraction of sediments yield usable DNA, and current protocols overlook the mineral controls that govern its preservation. CASANDRA will tr…
