Paleo-DNA Laboratory Homepage

Our methods have been specifically designed and optimized to handle the presence of inhibitors and highly degraded and fragmented DNA. Our staff has undergone extensive training for the challenges faced by analyzing ancient or highly degraded DNA.

 

Ancient DNA Analysis:  Discover information hidden in genetics. 

  • Establish Relationships
  • Establish Ethnicity
  • Establish Haplotypes
  • Establish Origins

Genetic analyses on all types of material can be conducted.  Including:

  • Archaeological Samples
  • Museum Specimens
  • Tombs
  • Mass graves
  • Archaeological sites
  • Burial sites

Analysis such as: 

  • mtDNA: Population genetics, animal species identification.
  • Nuclear DNA: Heritable genetic traits, Sex identification, STRs, Y-STRs.
  • Pathogenic DNA: Tuberculosis, Plague, Malaria, Hepatitis B, Leprosy and Trypanosomiasis.
  • Chloroplast DNA: Plant remains
