Fingerprinting ofCaprinae ancient genomic DNA: A preliminary note for studying the history of domestication in sicily

Oligonucleotide primers representing promoter and protein motifs in rats and mice were assayed for PCR amplification of ancient DNA from two sheep and one goat. We show preliminary evidence that this type of primers can be used for genomic fingerprinting of ancient DNA at interspecific level and can help in solving some paleoecological promlems.
