Matthias Meyer is a German evolutionary geneticist working primarily with ancient DNA. Meyer is the leader of the Advanced DNA sequencing techniques group at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.[1]
Research
[edit]Meyer has developed methods that have improved the scope of DNA sequencing, including methods for indexing of sequencing libraries of double-stranded DNA and extraction of highly degraded DNA from sediments.[2][3][4] His work has been instrumental for the generation of the first high-quality genome sequences from archaic humans as well as the recovery of the oldest DNA sequences known to date from fossils not discovered in permafrost.[5][6][7]
