This project aims to enable automated genome recovery from diverse environmental samples, without contamination risk. For more than 100 years, environmental scientists have studied diverse organism / environment interactions using a variety of conceptual and technical tools. Recently, studies of ancient and historical DNA have come to complement these tools and to occupy a significant place in environmental studies conducted over serial time. The project’s addition to the existing dual Ancient DNA complex facility at Griffith University will comprise two liquid handling workstations, each being housed in separate, self-contained, ancient DNA laboratories. The new facility will enable many researchers to have unprecedented access to an ancient DNA facility and a high level of technical support.

该项目旨在实现从不同环境样本中自动恢复基因组，而不存在污染风险。100多年来，环境科学家使用各种概念和技术工具研究了不同的有机体/环境相互作用。最近，对古代和历史DNA的研究已经成为这些工具的补充，并在连续时间进行的环境研究中占据重要地位。该项目是对格里菲斯大学现有的双重古代DNA复合体设施的补充，将包括两个液体处理工作站，每个工作站都位于独立的、自给自足的古代DNA实验室。新设施将使许多研究人员能够史无前例地接触到古老的DNA设施和高水平的技术支持。
