Abstract

It is now well established that ancient proteins endure, and remain informative, much longer than DNA. Accordingly, sequencing of ancient proteins is currently the only viable methodology for retrieving the genetic data required to resolve evolutionary relations between vertebrate species that disappeared millions of years ago.
