Extended Data Fig. 3: Proteomic and genetic data for hominin bones discovered using ZooMS.
From: Age estimates for hominin fossils and the onset of the Upper Palaeolithic at Denisova Cave
a–d, Collagen fingerprinting MALDI-ToF-MS spectra for Denisova 11, Denisova 14, Denisova 15 and Denisova 16. e–g, Average coverage of the human mitochondrial reference genome for Denisova 11, Denisova 14 and Denisova 15. The average coverage of the mitochondrial genome is twofold for the sequences from Denisova 14, and 62.7-fold for Denisova 15. The low collagen preservation indicated for Denisova 14 on the basis of its peptide fingerprint correlates well with the poor recovery of ancient DNA from the same specimen.
