DNA Training Program this summer in Thunder Bay. Once again, the Paleo-DNA Laboratory at Lakehead University is offering students the opportunity to participate in our Ancient DNA Internship Program. This year we are delivering the program from April 26th to May 14th, 2004 (deadline to apply, Feb. 1, 2004) and again from August 16th to September 3rd, 2004 (deadline to apply April 30, 2004). During the internship, students work in small groups (one instructor to 4 interns) and are given a project depending upon their interests. This maybe genetic analysis of disease in ancient mummies or forensic profiling of a body or many other such projects. As a student, you will learn different extraction methods to compare and contrast on both your own DNA and other samples. You will generate your own DNA profile, determine your own mitochondrial haplogroup/haplotype, your own STR profile, confirm your own sex genetically and evaluate a great new forensic technique known as DNA Witness or identify your ancestry by DNA. Students will learn about the different types of DNA that can be analyzed: mitochondrial, nuclear, chloroplast and pathogenic DNA. You will be taught different methods of analysis PCR-RFLP, multiplex PCR, sequencing, regular PCR and electrophoresis. You will learn different methods of sample preparation from a number of different tissue types like bone, teeth, hair, blood residues and mummified tissue. You will understand the use of genetic analysis and its potential in archaeozoology, paleopathology, archaeology, forensic science, paleobotany and paleontology. Lectures by professors and senior analysts in the fields of archeology, genetics, ancient DNA, forensic science, paleopathology and more are integrated with the laboratory sessions.

DNA Witness
É a nova tecnologia forense desenvolvida por uma empresa americana. A partir de uma amostra de DNA deixada na cena do crime, a empresa DNAPrint Genomics produziu um possível perfil do criminoso a partir da informação contida no DNA. Confira você mesmo e tire suas próprias conclusões. Em inglês.
