Our ancient DNA lab is up and running!

We have now finished setting up our second laboratory, which is exclusively dedicated to pre-PCR work with ancient and historical samples. The room has UV irradiation at night, positive air pressure with all incoming air passing through a HEPA filter, and restricted access in protective clothing - all to minimize the risk of contamination. We are excited to start recovering DNA from cod bones excavated from archaeological sites and work with other ancient samples in the future.
