2018-19 Annual Report PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PROGRAM AND DEPARTMENT OF EAST ASIAN STUDIES Annual Report 2018-2019 1 Director’s Letter East Asian Studies dates from the 1960s and 1970s, when Princeton established first a Program and then a Department focusing on the study of China, Japan, and Korea, including linguistic and disciplinary training. The Department comprises about forty faculty members and language instructors and offers a major and a certificate, while the Program supports faculty and students working on East Asia in all departments and offers a separate certificate. The 38 seniors in the class of 2019 enrolled in East Asian Studies pursued many interests, combining breadth of study with a solid foundation in the languages of East Asia. Four majors in the East Asian Studies Department together with 34 certificate students (in both Department and Program) worked in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages and produced independent work covering nearly every time, place, and disciplinary approach to Stephen F.

  • Distinguishing Extant Elephants Ivory from Mammoth Ivory Using a Short
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Distinguishing extant elephants ivory from mammoth ivory using a short sequence of cytochrome b gene Jacob Njaramba Ngatia1, Tian Ming Lan2,3,4, Yue Ma1,5, Thi Dao Dinh1, Zhen Wang1,5, Thomas D. Dahmer6 & Yan Chun Xu1,5,7* Trade in ivory from extant elephant species namely Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) and African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) is regulated internationally, while the trade in ivory from extinct species of Elephantidae, including woolly mammoth, is unregulated. This distinction creates opportunity for laundering and trading elephant ivory as mammoth ivory. The existing morphological and molecular genetics methods do not reliably distinguish the source of ivory items that lack clear identifcation characteristics or for which the quality of extracted DNA cannot support amplifcation of large gene fragments. We present a PCR-sequencing method based on 116 bp target sequence of the cytochrome b gene to specifcally amplify elephantid DNA while simultaneously excluding non-elephantid species and ivory substitutes, and while avoiding contamination by human DNA. The partial Cytochrome b gene sequence enabled accurate association of ivory samples with their species of origin for all three extant elephants and from mammoth. The detection limit of the PCR system was as low as 10 copy numbers of target DNA. The amplifcation and sequencing success reached 96.7% for woolly mammoth ivory and 100% for African savanna elephant and African forest elephant ivory. This is the frst validated method for distinguishing elephant from mammoth ivory and it provides forensic support for investigation of ivory laundering cases.
