Oferta compartida por Nuria The American Museum of Natural History is recruiting an exceptional postdoc to be part of a highly innovative project to optimize techniques in isolating historical DNA (hDNA), modeling DNA degradation, and analyzing DNA from specimens in the herpetology and ornithology collections at the (AMNH). This project is funded by a National Science Foundation award to Christopher Raxworthy and Brian T. Smith in the Division of Vertebrate Zoology, AMNH. This NSF-funded project aims to develop efficient and open-source protocols for yielding genome-scale molecular data from typical traditional museum specimens, based on rigorous experiments using time-series collections at the AMNH. Museum specimens of amphibians, reptiles, and birds will be sampled for DNA across two collecting periods of: <1-30 years for field-frozen, dry and fluid preserved voucher tissues, all taken from the same specimens for which alternative DNA prep types will be directly compared;...
