#Tobacco use detectable in #archaeological #teeth 🚬
Our #bioarchaeological research project in cooperation with the @univienna and the #ViennaBiocenter with funding from the #BABAO has developed a new method to detect tobacco use in archaeological #skeletons - using tooth #dentin!

The study analysed teeth from #soldiers who died at the #Battle of #Wagram in 1809 during the #FifthCoalitionWar

What comes to mind when our #PerutzAlumni think of their time at the Perutz? 💭

For Merrit Romeike, who completed her PhD in the Bücker lab in 2022, it's all about the supportive community 🎓✨ Watch her share her thoughts and discover what she’s up to now! #AlumniStory

Is it possible to identify #Tobacco use from human remains?

Our colleague #SheridanStrang is currently investigating this question with five tooth samples from the #Napoleonic #battlefield of #DeutschWagram
The project is funded by the British Association for Biological #Anthropology and #Osteoarchaeology and takes place in cooperation with the #viennabiocenter of the @univienna and the research group #TobaccoAndHealth of the #UniversityOfLeicester

#Cohesin can resolve sister #chromatids already in G2 phase independent of #condensin - suggesting DNA #loopextrusion as generic mechanism for segregating #replicated genomes shared across different Structural Maintenance of #Chromosomes (SMC) protein complexes
