Our methods have been specifically designed and optimized to handle the presence of inhibitors and highly degraded and fragmented DNA. Our staff has extensive experience dealing with the challenges of 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
• Tomb Remains
• Ancient Artifacts
• Animal Parchment
• Mass graves
• Archaeological sites
• Burial sites
• Forensic Cold Casework

Analysis such as: 

• Mitochondrial DNA: Population genetics, animal species identification.
• Nuclear DNA: Heritable genetic traits, Sex identification, STRs
• Y-Chromosome DNA: 17 marker Y-STR
• Pathogenic DNA: Contact us for specifics
• Plant Remains: rbCL Chloroplast DNA
• Independent replication of ancient DNA work for verification of results

We also have experience in: 

• Primer Design
• SNaPshot Project Optimization
• Bat Cytochrome B DNA
