Description

Method for identifying sex of ancient human remains with extremely low DNA content
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of molecular archaeology, in particular to a method for identifying the sex of ancient human remains with extremely low DNA content.
Background
The modern archaeology in China is characterized in that a group of object types which have definite characteristics and are often accompanied with appearance are used as marks for distinguishing different cultures, and the archaeology idea just excludes people who create historical cultures. Therefore, the rise of the ancient DNA molecular anthropology in China is just to break through the single morphologically corresponding cultural qualitative research mode, and all the information of the ancient human living matters is injected into the human historical research process, so that the human historical research is pulled to the research track of human core, and the anthropology, archaeology and life science are alternately fused and developed.
Gender information of ancient human remains is one of the essential key information for archaeological study. Only if the sex information of individuals in the grave group is accurately known, important scientific problems such as family structures, social structures and the like can be further researched.
The traditional method for identifying the sex of the ancient human remains mainly comprises morphological analysis, and the sex determination is mainly based on sex marks of bones such as skull, pelvis, limb bones and the like. The integrity of bone preservation is different, and the accuracy of the identification result is also different. It is difficult to morphologically determine the sex of an individual who is under-aged.
With the development of molecular biology in these years, ancient human sex identification was carried out using Amelogenin (Amelogenin) gene, which is generally distributed on X and Y chromosomes with different fragment lengths, amplified by ordinary PCR and detected by gel electrophoresis, and male with 106bp and 112bp bands and female with 106bp band. The discovery of the method promotes the development of sex determination of ancient human remains, and particularly realizes the possibility of carrying out sex determination on the remains with smaller ages. However, for remains with poor preservation conditions, the ancient DNA content is extremely low and the degradation is severe, the electrophoresis is difficult to reach the detection limit of ancient DNA bands, the gene on the X or Y chromosome can only be amplified to form one band, according to a gender analysis method, a female usually forms one band, and a male usually forms two bands, so that misreading occurs, the authenticity of the result is influenced, and the reliability of the gender result is greatly reduced.
