A library of avian proteins improves palaeoproteomic taxonomic identification and reveals widespread intraspecies variability

Abstract Biomineral-associated proteins, such as those found in bone, teeth, and eggshell, have become instrumental for studying ancient life, as they often survive far longer than DNA. Harnessing advancements in avian genomics, we annotate bone and eggshell protein sequences for 112 Anatidae (ducks...
