Postdoc Chrissy Rochus visits us from Uppsala University

We're excited to welcome Chrissy Rochus,  a postdoc from Leif Andersson’s lab at Uppsala University, who will be visiting us for three months. Chrissy is studying the patterns of genetic change in Baltic herring over the past century. During her visit, she will be extracting DNA and preparing libraries from historical Baltic herring scales in our ancient DNA lab.

All scales were scraped off with a razor for DNA.
