Fragment distribution of hDNA extractions
We quantified the DNA fragment distribution of three supernatant
extractions and three formalin-fixed extractions (Appendix II). Fragment
distribution of supernatant replicates ranged from 186 bp to 12.8 kbp.
Fragment distributions of formalin-fixed extractions ranged from
~150 bp to ~400 bp. The formalin-fixed
liver replicate of USNM 525133 had higher extraction yield (1100 ng)
with a fragment distribution peak at ~400 bp, while the
muscle replicate yielded 200 ng of DNA with a fragment distribution
centered at ~185 bp.
