Don't wash those fossils!
Standard museum practice can wash away DNA.
1.Washing, brushing and varnishing fossils — all standard conservation
treatments used by many fossil hunters and museum curators alike — vastly
reduces the chances of recovering ancient DNA.
2.Instead, excavators should be handling at least some of their bounty with
gloves, and freezing samples as they are found, dirt and all, concludes a paper
in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today.
3.Although many palaeontologists know anecdotally that this is the best way
to up the odds of extracting good DNA, Eva-Maria Geigl of the Jacques Monod
Institute in Paris, France, and her colleagues have now shown just how important
conservation practices can be.This information, they say, needs to be hammered
home among the people who are actually out in the field digging up bones.
4.Geigl and her colleagues looked at 3,200-year-old fossil bones belonging to
a single individual of an extinct cattle species, called an aurochs.The fossils
were dug up at a site in France at two different times — either in 1947, and
stored in a museum collection, or in 2004, and conserved in sterile conditions
at -20 oC.
5.The team's attempts to extract DNA from the 1947 bones all failed.The newly
excavated fossils, however, all yielded DNA.
6.Because the bones had been buried for the same amount of time, and in the
same conditions, the conservation method had to be to blame says Geigl."As much
DNA was degraded in these 57 years as in the 3,200 years before," she says.
Wash in, wash out
7.Because many palaeontologists base their work on the shape of fossils
alone, their methods of conservation are not designed to preserve DNA, Geigl
explains.
8.The biggest problem is how they are cleaned.Fossils are often washed
together on-site in a large bath, which can allow water — and contaminants in
the form of contemporary DNA — to permeate into the porous bones."Not only is
the authentic DNA getting washed out, but contamination is getting washed in,"
says Geigl.
9.Most ancient DNA specialists know this already, says Hendrik Poinar, an
evolutionary geneticist at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.But that
doesn't mean that best practice has become widespread among those who actually
find the fossils.
10.Getting hold of fossils that have been preserved with their DNA in mind
relies on close relationships between lab-based geneticists and the excavators,
says palaeogeneticist Svante P bo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.And that only occurs in exceptional cases, he
says.
11.P bo's team, which has been sequencing Neanderthal DNA, continually faces
these problems."When you want to study ancient human and Neanderthal remains,
there's a big issue of contamination with contemporary human DNA," he says.
12.This doesn't mean that all museum specimens are fatally flawed, notes P
bo.The Neanderthal fossils that were recently sequenced in his own lab, for
example, had been part of a museum collection treated in the traditional way.But
P bo is keen to see samples of fossils from every major find preserved in line
with Geigl's recommendations — just in case.
Warm and wet
13.Geigl herself believes that, with cooperation between bench and field
researchers, preserving fossils properly could open up avenues of discovery that
have long been assumed closed.
14.Much human cultural development took place in temperate regions.DNA does
not survive well in warm environments in the first place, and can vanish when
fossils are washed and treated.For this reason, Geigl says, most ancient DNA
studies have been done on permafrost samples, such as the woolly mammoth, or on
remains sheltered from the elements in cold caves — including cave bear and
Neanderthal fossils.
15.Better conservation methods, and a focus on fresh fossils, could boost DNA
extraction from more delicate specimens, says Geigl.And that could shed more
light on the story of human evolution.

answer.

2.What suggestions do Geigl and her colleagues give on what should be done
when fossils are found?
3.What problems may be posed if fossil bones are washed on-site? Name
ONE.
4.What characteristic do fossil bones have to make them susceptible to be
contaminated with contemporary DNA when they are washed?

improved?
6.The passage mentioned several animal species studied by researchers.How
many of them are mentioned?
Questions 7-11

Please write TRUE if the statement agrees with the writer FALSE if the statement
does not agree with the writer NOT GIVEN if there is no information about this
in the passage.
7.In their paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences,Geigl and her colleagues have shown what conservation practices should
be followed to preserve ancient DNA.
8.The fossil bones that Geigl and her colleagues studied are all from the
same aurochs.
9.Geneticists don't have to work on site.
10.Only newly excavated fossil bones using new conservation methods suggested
by Geigl and her colleagues contain ancient DNA.
11.Paabo is still worried about the potential problems caused by treatments
of fossils in traditional way.

excavated in the past.

recovered DNA.
