Functional Ecosystem Changes in the Marine Arctic: Unraveling Climate-Biota Interactions by Hybridization Capture of Sedimentary Ancient DNA

I investigate climate-biota interactions using hybridization capture of sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA). I am developing a set of probes to capture key marine eukaryotes. These baits are first being tested on modern samples to assess their efficiency and will be applied to ancient sediment from the Holocene in Baffin Bay (West Greenland).
