Figure 2

Streamlining of initial screening of samples followed by pooling. Sediment samples were individually screened to distinguish samples with preserved ancient DNA (positive) from samples devoid of aDNA (negative). The extracts of positive samples were pooled with up to 4 extracts of a negative sample to recreate a pool testing method. The presence of an aDNA signal was evaluated by the deamination signal and the number of unique reads.
