COL1A2 Barcoding: Bone Species Identification via Shotgun Proteomics
Kei Taniguchi,

Abstract:Species
identification of fragmentary bones remains a challenging
task in archeology and forensics. A species identification method
for such fragmentary bones that has recently attracted interest is
the use of bone collagen proteins. Here, we describe a method similar
to DNA barcoding that reads collagen protein sequences in bone and
automatically determines the species by performing sequence database
searches. The method is almost identical to conventional shotgun proteomics
analysis of bone samples, except t… Show more
