Beethoven’s Medical Mystery

article image placeholderUploaded by @Urbanlegends
After cleaning Beethoven's hair one strand at a time, scientists dissolved the pieces into a solution and then fished out chunks of DNA. That according to the author Tristan James Alexander Begg, a biological anthropologist at the University of Cambridge. Getting genes out was a challenge, since DNA and hair gets chopped up into tiny fragments. That according to the author Johannes Krause, a paleonticist at Germany's Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
