| Research Abstract |
The locus of the earwax gene was found by Yoshiura et al. in 2006. We tried the analysis of the earwax gene in Yayoi period human skeletal remains.【Materials】Fifty-one human skeletal remains excavated from the Yasunagata site in Tosu city, Saga prefecture, were analyzed very carefully. 【Methods】 We analyzed a SNP (rs17822931) of the ABCC11 by the Taq-Man PCR method got the high sensitivity results from a very small amount of nucleus DNA.【Result】 We were able to decide the earwax type of 5 skeletal remains ; the allele GA(the phenotype is Wet)were 3 samples, AA (the phenotype is Dry) were 2 samples.
