Project description:Denisova Cave in southern Siberia is the type locality of the Denisovans, an archaic hominin group who were related to Neanderthals1-4. The dozen hominin remains recovered from the deposits also include Neanderthals5,6 and the child of a Neanderthal and a Denisovan7, which suggests that Denisova Cave was a contact zone between these archaic hominins. However, uncertainties persist about the order in which these groups appeared at the site, the timing and environmental context of hominin occupation, and the association of particular hominin groups with archaeological assemblages5,8-11. Here we report the analysis of DNA from 728 sediment samples that were collected in a grid-like manner from layers dating to the Pleistocene epoch. We retrieved ancient faunal and hominin mitochondrial (mt)DNA from 685 and 175 samples, respectively. The earliest evidence for hominin mtDNA is of Denisovans, and is associated with early Middle Palaeolithic stone tools that were deposited approximately 250,000 to 170,000 years ago; Neanderthal mtDNA first appears towards the end of this period. We detect a turnover in the mtDNA of Denisovans that coincides with changes in the composition of faunal mtDNA, and evidence that Denisovans and Neanderthals occupied the site repeatedly-possibly until, or after, the onset of the Initial Upper Palaeolithic at least 45,000 years ago, when modern human mtDNA is first recorded in the sediments.

Project description:The zebrafish embryo has repeatedly proved to be a useful model for the analysis of effects by environmental toxicants. This study was performed to investigate if an approach combining mechanism-specific bioassays with microarray techniques can obtain more in-depth insights into the ecotoxicity of complex pollutant mixtures as present, e.g., in freeze-dried whole sediment samples and their corresponding organic extracts in parallel. To this end, altered gene expression was compared to data from established bioassays as well as to results from chemical analysis. Microarray analysis revealed several classes of significantly regulated genes which could to a considerable extent be related to the hazard potential. Results indicate that potential classes of contaminants can be assigned to sediment extracts by both classical biomarker genes and corresponding expression profile analyses of known substances. However, it is difficult to distinguish between specific responses and more universal detoxification of the organism. Additionally, different gene expression was shown to be less influenced by the sampling site than by the method of exposure, which could be attributed to differential bioavailability of contaminants. Microarray analyses were performed with early life stages of zebrafish exposed to sediment extracts or freeze-dried sediment from three sampling sites (Ehingen, Lauchert, Sigmaringen) along the Upper part of the Danube River, Germany. The expression profiles were compared within the sampling sites, between the exposure scheme and to the expression pattern of model toxicants, such as 4-chloroaniline, Cadmium, DDT, TCDD, and Valproic acid (Gene Expression Omnibus Series GSE9357). Additionally, mechanism-specific bioassays and chemical analysis of the sediments have been combined and compared to the present gene expression data.

Microarray analysis were performed with early life stages of zebrafish exposed to 2 sediment extracts from the Upper part of the River Rhine, Germany. The expression profile as then compared to the expression pattern of model toxicants, such as, 4-chloroaniline, Cadmium, DDT, TCDD, and Valproic acid (Gene Expression Omnibus Series GSE9357). Additionally, combining mechanism-specific bioassays as well as chemical analysis of the sediments to the gene expression data has contributed to a more comprehensive view on the hazard potential of the sediments.

Project description:Contaminated aquifer (Dusseldorf-Flinger, Germany) templates extracted from 5 sediment depths ranging between 6.4 and 8.4 m below ground and over 3 years of sampling were amplified for amplicon pyrosequencing using the primers Ba27f (5’-aga gtt tga tcm tgg ctc ag-3’) and Ba519r (5’- tat tac cgc ggc kgc tg-3’), extended as amplicon fusion primers with respective primer A or B adapters, key sequence and multiplex identifiers (MID) as recommended by 454/Roche. Amplicons were purified and pooled as specified by the manufacturer. Emulsion PCR (emPCR), purification of DNA-enriched beads and sequencing run were performed following protocols and using a 2nd generation pyrosequencer (454 GS FLX Titanium, Roche) as recommended by the developer. Quality filtering of the pyrosequencing reads was performed using the automatic amplicon pipeline of the GS Run Processor (Roche), with a slight modification concerning the valley filter (vfScanAllFlows false instead of TiOnly) to extract the sequences. Demultiplexed raw reads were furhter trimmed for quality and lenght (>250 bp).

Project description:Toxicity of river sediments are assessed using whole sediment toxicity tests with benthic organisms. The challenge, however, is the differentiation between multiple effects caused by complex contaminant mixtures and the unspecific toxicity endpoints such as survival, growth or reproduction. Moreover, natural sediment properties, such as grain size distribution and organic carbon content, can influence the test parameters by masking pollutant toxicity. The use of gene expression profiling facilitates the identification of transcriptional changes at the molecular level that are specific to the bioavailable fraction of pollutants. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is ideally suited for these purposes, as (i) it can be exposed to whole sediments, and (ii) its genome is fully sequenced and widely annotated. In this pilot study we exposed C. elegans for 48 h to three sediments varying in degree of contamination with e.g. heavy metals and organic pollutants. Following the exposure period, gene expression was profiled using a whole genome DNA-microarray approach.
