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. Ancient proteins can provide phylogenetic information at a timescale that supersedes ancient DNA. Paleoproteomics could thus provide invaluable evolutionary insights, including into human evolution.

古蛋白质组学揭示百万年前化石的奥秘

目前已经确定的是，远古蛋白质的存续时间和信息量远远超过 DNA。因此，对古蛋白质进行测序是目前唯一可行的方法，可用于检索解决数百万年前消失的脊椎动物物种之间进化关系所需的遗传数据。古蛋白质能够以超越古 DNA 的时间尺度提供系统发育信息。因此，古蛋白质组学可以提供宝贵的进化见解，包括对人类进化的见解。
