The team of the paleogeneticists from CeNT UW (D. Popović. M. Molak-Tomsia and M. Baca) together with archaeologists from the Centre of the Andean Studies UW and international collaborators published a paleogenomic study about the inhabitants of the Tiwanaku in Science Advances. Tiwanaku civilization flourished in the Lake Titicaca Basin between 500 and 1000 CE and at its apogee influenced wide areas across the Southern Andes. Despite a considerable amount of archaeological data concerning the culture, little is known about the Tiwanaku population and its dynamics. We analyzed 17 low-coverage genomes from individuals dated between 300 and […] >>

New method of selection of compounds of the anti-SARS-CoV 2 Researchers from the University of Warsaw under the supervision of prof. Jacek Jemielity and dr hab. Joanna Kowalska developed a new screening method based on the phenomenon of fluorescence. It allows the selection of a group of enzymes that inhibit the replication of SARS-Cov-2 proteins. Out of 7,000 compounds, 83 have been identified that effectively […] >>
