ArcheoGen Partners
ArcheoGen laboratories cooperate with a number of important foreign and local institutions. Applied research procedures, methods and technologies are based on close cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (hereinafter MPI-EVA), which is a world leader in aDNA research. In 2022, the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology was awarded to the founder of MPI-EVA and its long-time director Svante Pääbe.
Other partners are archaeological sites, museums and universities that reconstruct, analyze, archive and deposit historical skeletal material. When analyzing ancient biomolecules, we are not limited to aDNA, but ArcheoGen experts also cooperate with other natural sciences whose methods can be applied in research, such as proteomics.
The nature of the analysis of ancient biomolecules, i.e. their significant damage, is a challenge for the development of new and robust methods in the fields of genetics, molecular biology and bioinformatics. During the last 30 years, when aDNA has been given intensive attention, its research has brought a number of innovations that have become key in other branches of genetics and molecular biology, e.g. in forensic sciences or population data analysis.
