A 170bp PCR products was amplified the DNA in a dinosaur egg using primers designed from the conserved regions of human cytochrome b gene and was sequenced. BLAST search through INTERNET for homology detection showed that the sequence was almose identical with the human mitochondria cytochrome b gene(96-100% similarity). Therefore we can conclude that the dinosaur egg itself has been seriously contaminated.
使用从人类细胞色素b基因保守区域设计的引物，扩增了一枚恐龙蛋中的DNA，得到了一条170bp的PCR产物，并对其进行了测序。通过互联网进行BLAST搜索以检测同源性，结果显示该序列与人类线粒体细胞色素b基因几乎完全相同（相似度为96 - 100%）。因此我们可以得出结论，这枚恐龙蛋本身已受到严重污染。
