Mitochondrial Genome Analysis
Our researchers work on analyzing mitochondrial genomes, not only looking to more greatly understand the mitochondrial genome, but also be able to analyze for variance that could lead to diseases and other pathogens. Because of the vital role of the mitochondria in cell function and the importance of mtDNA, a highly trained and successful staff has been established to continue research and teach the next generation of scientists. Whole mitochondrial genome sequencing is an efficient tool in the molecular taxonomy of insects and related fields.
