Evolutionary Genetics Laboratory (eGL) was established in 2014. Since the beginning, lots of projects have been conducting. Mainly, DNA barcoding and environmental DNA (eDNA) studies are being performed in eGL. On the other hand, eGL is supported by Food and Agriculture Ministry of Turkey, Science and Industry Ministry of Turkey, TUBITAK and COST organisation. Also eGL is a founder member of European eDNA Network. In the light of these informations; molecular and phylogenetic analyses are being provided and with the help of the financial support of projects, scholarships are provided to MSc and PhD students.

Make researches about molecular biology

To provide education for scientists, students and participants at every level

To share knowledge and experience with scientists

To improve new methods and tools

To support interdisciplinary studies in natural sciences

To unserstand life, nature and evolution through scientific basis

Principle Investigator

Prof. Dr. Emre KESKİN

PhD

I am focussed on molecular phylogenetics and DNA/eDNA barcoding/metabarcoding studies. I also lead the working group on the standardization of genomic techniques used to identify biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems across Europe under the EU DNAqua-Net Action. More
