Genetic lab
Starting already in the late 1980s with DNA-fingerprinting, the Genetic lab has a long experience in molecular biological work. It is fully equipped with the state of the art instruments for doing molecular ecology including 7 PCR machines, one qPCR instrument (Mx3000) and in house access to an 454 instrument for automated sequencing and genotyping. We have weekly lab meetings for the approximately 20 people associated to the lab for discussions of practical and scientific issues. Jane Jönsson is employed as a technician to maintain the lab and the scientific projects are jointly coordinated by Staffan Bensch, Bengt Hansson, Dennis Hasselquist, Lars Råberg and Helena Westerdahl. They work with a diverse set of organisms including birds, mammals, fish, insects and pathogens. Some of the projects are included within the CAnMove program.
The molecular genetics lab is used in the following projects:
Lab protocols
Protocols are predefined procedural definitions used to standardize a laboratory method to ensure successful replication of results by other researchers. In addition to detailed procedures and lists of required equipment and instruments, protocols often include information on safety precautions, the calculation of results and reporting standards, including statistical analysis and rules for predefining and documenting excluded data to avoid bias.
