Ancient DNA: Reconstruction Of The Biological History Of A Human Society:
A research team has reconstructed the history of the evolution of human population and answered questions about history, using DNA extracted from skeleton remains. Knowing the history of past populations and answering unresolved questions about them is highly interesting, more so when the information is obtained from the extraction of genetic material from historical remains. An example is the necropolis at Aldaieta (Araba) where some of these mysteries about these peoples have been answered - thanks to the study of their DNA.
Expect more in the near future....

Dan Graur has suggested some changes to the classification of DNA.
Did you know small fragments of DNA are circulating in your blood stream?

Ethidium is a dye that's used in molecular biology to allow DNA to be visualized. Regular DNA isn't colored; it absorbs ultraviolet but not visible light, so you need to use tricks like making the DNA radioactive (which makes it pretty easy to spot), or using dyes that selectively bind to DNA.
This was published last year.
Your link is broken, Dienekes, but the article is certainly in Oxford Journals. Through search, I got this link for the abstract: http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/510464?prevSearch=de+l… (not sure if it'll work continuously anyhow).
Aldaieta (near Vitoria-Gasteiz, in the ab Asturicam-Burdigalam classical "Atlantic axis" route) has been researched once and again, specially by Basque researchers like Alzualde, Izagirre and de la Rúa herself. It may be a new research, but with such a scarce notice it's hard to say.
A quite comprehensive list of papers on Basque and Iberian aDNA, including several on Aldaieta, was posted here: http://z6.invisionfree.com/man/index.php?showtopic=1506 (Quetzacoatl Anthrpology Forum).
Luis - I'm fed up with you Basques constantly proving your superiority to us nouveaux Europeans.
Dammit! We've run Europe for the last 5-10-15,000 years, and you guys have been pushed into a small corner. We've even run North America for the last 200 years (very 'successfully' as you can see from the daily news.)
It's just not fair that you show how 'socialist' companies like Mondragon, and other Basque enterprises, can out-run our normal capitalist companies, run by a single moneyed idiot.
It's just not fair that your Basque families (Zobel, l'Huillier) still run my adopted country - the Philippines (and found it- Legazpi).
Eskerrik asko!

Uh?!
Guess it's some sort of joke, right?
