My research interest is NGS sequencing. Currently, I am developing a sequencing workflow for the ARISE project.
The challenge of our NGS projects lies in the different type of samples we have to work with. These vary from ancient herbarium specimens to recently collected insects.
Our DNA lab is utilized with several facilities such as an Ancient DNA lab, King fisher , eDNA work space, so we’re able to face the most challenging samples. Our NGS lab contains various equipment to measure, normalize and prepare a NGS library optimally
