Since 2010, all samples collected in the frame of the German-wide wolf and lynx monitoring are centrally analyzed at the Senckenberg Center for Wildlife Genetics.

Services

Our laboratory focuses on contamination-sensitive environmental samples with low DNA content. We extract DNA from faeces, hair, saliva residues on carcasses and other environmental samples containing DNA. Additionally, we also provide services for tissue and blood.
