Protein Sequences from Mastodon and Tyrannosaurus Rex Revealed by Mass Spectrometry
Like before, the text is available and miniature figures are in "Figures Only" and pdf links are given for the "Supporting Online Material."
I want a Tyrannoburger ... tastes like chicken.
Interesting. I’d been reading about soft tissue extraction from dinosaur bones for a while. This is the first time I’ve heard of any sequencing.
That's right, Jack. And one of these days you're going to stick in your thumb and pull out a plumb and say: "Holy Mackerel! This is Dinosaur DNA!" And you know what'll happen next!
If you think alligators are a problem, just wait!
Good news for Colonel Sanders!
Next stop: Jurassic Park!
Scientists Retrieve Proteins From Dinosaur Bone
Ancient T. rex and mastodon protein fragments discovered, sequenced There are many links from Sunken Civ.
Howard says no to HIV-positive immigrants (Australia)
Restoration of p53 function leads to tumour regression in vivo This pdf link is quite fascinating, although it's a very technical 5 pages. I noticed the title on Nature's home page. I found this copy posted on the web.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Is this the same sample that was softened with vinegar?
ping
It sure as heck isn’t 6,000 years old.
fascinating. bump for later reading
I don’t know, frankly, but I sure as hell know that it ain’t 75 million years old. My sandwhich in my lunchpail gets dry between 5:00 am when it is made and 12:00 noon when I eat it. Somebody’s full of sh*t.
"Palaeontologists have sequenced some protein from a 68-million-year-old fossilized Tyrannosaurus rex bone."
I believe your problem is with Palaeontology and geology.
These are pdf links:

Thanks!

pre-Tertiary takeout buckets must have been huge.
Oops, didn’t notice that, thanks!
