Abstract

In this work the first results of a paleogenetic study are presented in the bone remains of Elba, the mesolithic woman of Chan do Lindeiro (Pedrafita do Cebreiro, Lugo). The study was performed at the level of complete mitochondrial DNA and of nuclear markers related to phenotypic traits, such as pigmentation and lactose tolerance. The method is based on enrichment by hybridization capture of mitochondrial and genomic DNA, followed by high throughput sequencing. The coverage obtained for the genomic markers was insufficient, but the mitochondrial genome was recovered by 99%. The Chan do Lindeiro woman belongs to the haplogroup U, characteristic of the European hunter gatherers and within this, in the subhaplotype U5b1, whose origin is located in the Iberian Peninsula some 16-20000 years ago.
