QRC Workshop on Genetic Paleoecology
Defining the Cutting Edge of Quaternary Science
QRC Workshop on Genetic Paleoecology
November 15-16th, 2018
Location: Denny Hall 313
Contact: Ben Fitzhugh (fitzhugh@uw.edu)
The potential of paleogenomics has expanded exponentially in the past few years with new technologies and analytical strategies that enable extraction of DNA from increasingly ancient and partially degraded samples (animal, plant, and even soils).
