About the Laboratory:

The Laboratory was established in 2000. The founder and the first Head of the Laboratory was Petr A. Orlov (2000-2008), D.Sc. (Biology). Since 2008, after its structural reorganization, the Laboratory has been under the direction of V.A. Lemesh, PhD, Associate Professor.

Main directions:

  • Investigation into the genetic diversity of plants, fish and bees;
  • Investigation into the molecular genetic mechanisms of plant adaptation to abiotic and biotic stress;
  • Verification of the credibility of origin, the species and breed affiliation of fish and bees; identification and certification of plants based on DNA typing;
  • Investigation into the molecular genetic bases of human diseases;
  • Application of bioinformatics methods to analyze cause-and-effect relationships of the structural and functional organization of genomes.
