Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
DNA extraction
DNA extraction. Geneticist removing tissue from a tooth thought to belong to the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus. The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the sample will be compared with DNA known to be from an illegitimate son, Hernando, and some thought to be from Columbus son, Diego. The study hopes to determine whether remains in Seville, Spain, or in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, are those of Columbus. Columbus died in 1506 in Valladolid, Spain. He was first buried there before being moved in 1537 to Santo Domingo. In 1795 his remains were moved to Cuba, before finally moving to Seville in 1898. It is possible the wrong remains were taken to Cuba. Degradation and contamination of the DNA has hampered the analysis

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a geneticist diligently extracting tissue from a tooth believed to have belonged to the renowned Italian explorer, Christopher Columbus. The purpose of this meticulous procedure is to compare the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the sample with that of an illegitimate son named Hernando and some suspected DNA from Columbus' own son, Diego. This groundbreaking study aims to unravel the mystery surrounding whether the remains currently residing in Seville, Spain or Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic truly belong to Columbus. The historical journey of these remains adds another layer of complexity to this investigation. After his death in 1506 in Valladolid, Spain, Columbus was initially buried there before being relocated to Santo Domingo in 1537. In an intriguing turn of events, his remains were then transferred to Cuba in 1795 before finally finding their resting place in Seville by 1898. However, it is plausible that during one of these transfers, incorrect remains might have been taken along. Unfortunately, degradation and contamination issues have posed significant challenges throughout this analysis due to the fragile nature of ancient DNA samples. Nevertheless, undeterred by these obstacles and equipped with state-of-the-art technology and expertise within her laboratory setting; our dedicated female scientist can be seen skillfully utilizing drills and pliers for precise extraction. This extraordinary endeavor spearheaded by Science Photo Library holds immense potential not only for unravelling centuries-old mysteries but also for advancing our understanding of genetics through cutting-edge DNA research techniques.
