Figure 3From: Quantification of damage in DNA recovered from highly degraded samples – a case study on DNA in faecesQuantitative PCR results and estimates of DNA damage in faecal DNA. Shown is the number of amplifiable copies (logarithmic scale) verus amplicon size for sea lion DNA (blue) and herring DNA (red) extracted from ten sea lion faecal samples. The estimated probability of a nucleotide being damaged (λ) is also shown for each target species in each sample.Back to article page
