Unsere Aufgabe
Das Molekularlabor am Museum Koenig Bonn hat sich seit 1997 beständig zu einem wesentlichen Bestandteil des LIB-Forschungsbereiches entwickelt.
Die Voraussetzungen für genomische, populationsgenetische und phylogenetische Arbeiten sind bestens realisiert und werden in einer Vielzahl von Projekten genutzt.
Im Labor setzen wir PCR Techniken, Mikrosatellitenanalyse und Library Präparation für Hochdurchsatz-Sequenzierungen ein. Long-read Sequenzierung für genomische Analysen wird intensiv genutzt. Ein wesentliches Ziel besteht in der Nutzung des Museumstandortes mit seinen umfassenden Sammlungen zur Beantwortung evolutionsbiologischer Fragestellungen auf der Grundlage molekularbiologischer Daten.
