(thunder bay - march 11, 2004) 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's paleo dna laboratory is offering 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 a unique hands-on learning experience with state-of-the-art technology.

from april 26 to may 14, the lab will host national and international participants who will be taking part in an ancient dna internship. the paleo-dna lab is the only facility in the world that offers a training program in extraction, amplification, sequencing, and analysis of degraded and ancient nucleic acids (adna).

during the internship, participants work in small, independently supervised groups (one instructor to four interns), and proceed gradually through the various stages of adna analysis. lectures by invited lecturers, professors and senior analysts on a wide variety of adna topics are integrated with the laboratory sessions. after the program is complete, the participants will have the background to begin conducting research projects on both archaeological, forensic and modern dna as well as a familiarity with the statistical methods used in the interpretation of dna results.

"this internship provides a chance for participants to learn a large number of the techniques applicable to molecular studies on degraded or ancient material with a large interest in forensic science," says dr. carney matheson, director at the paleo-dna lab. "the participants interact with researchers from all over the world and receive lectures from invited speakers that are in many cases leaders in their field. it's really the chance of a lifetime for these 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to gain first-hand working knowledge in ancient dna."

dr. matheson is available for media interviews by calling 343-8864. more information and application form to the program can be found at www.ancientdna.com.
