Our colleagues from the University of Vilnius (VU) visited the Ancient DNA facilities at the Institute of Genomics (UTARTU) in December 2024 and February 2025.
During these visits they learned about the overall organization of the laboratory as well as about the workflow starting from sample documentation and finishing with quality control of ancient DNA libraries. VU partners also familiarized themselves with the bioinformatic pipelines that we use to analyse human ancient genomes including raw sequence data processing, authentication, uniparental haplogroup detection, kinship and principal component analyses.
