In the curent edition of Days of art :DNA sequence applied the Archaeogene technology in the service of the protection of cultural heritage.
The current edition of Days of Art in Greece, presents the Archaeogene technology, which was developed by the high-tech company DNASequence and allows the study of deterioration and the reveal of the microbial biodiversity, to protect cultural heritage and works of art. DNASequence applied the Archaeogene technology for the first time at the Holy Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem. A similar case is the Eupalineo Trench in Samos, one of the most important projects in the history of construction engineering, designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

DNA Sequence in the 2nd Greek-Chinese International Conference on Environment and Culture
DNA Sequence is pleased to announce its participation in the 2nd Greek-Chinese International Conference on Environment and Culture, which will be held digitally from 17-19 September 2021. The 2nd International Conference (https://shap-conference.com) is one of the activities of the “Sino-Hellenic Academic Project” of the Hellenic Culture Research Centre, the Yellow River Culture Research Centre in Greece and the Collaborative Innovation Centre for Yellow River Culture and Sustainable Development. At the conference, the results of the application of the unique technology of DNA Sequence Archaeogene, which was applied in collaboration with Professor Ioannis Lyritzis, will be presented on archaeological finds from the Mycenaean settlement at Kastrouli in Fokida. More specifically, through the publication “Whole Genome Sequencing Approach Revealed Microbial Species in Mycenaean Period Associated Residual Plant Biomass: First Results“, new technologies for sequencing microbial DNA from archaeological finds will be presented that can provide valuable information for Αrchaeometry. The Conference is under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Culture and Sports, the Region of Central Greece, the Municipality of Delphi and the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Hellenic Republic. In addition, it is officially supported by the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, many Greek and foreign Universities, the Hellenic Pharmaceutical Association and other organizations.
First Global Application of Archaeogene Technology in Cooperation with National Technical University of Athens
With a sense of responsibility and honor, DNA Sequence SRL announces the application of Archaeogene technology to contribute in the continuing research of the NTUA Interdisciplinary Team, under the leadership of Prof. A. Moropoulou, concerning the findings on the Holy Aedicule of the Tomb of Christ at the Holy Sepulchre Church in Jerusalem. The company uses cutting-edge technology to provide valuable information on estimating through metagenomics different historic periods deepening the scientific community’s knowledge on the findings and how they were preserved. The results of this innovative application, which is used for the first time, will be jointly announced in the near future and presented within the 2nd International TMM_CH Conference “Transdisciplinary Multispectral Modelling and Cooperation for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage” https://tmm-ch.com/
New collaboration for DNASequence SRL, with Prof. Ioannis Liritzis
DNASequence SRL is pleased to announce the scientific collaboration with Prof. Ioannis Liritzis, in the subject of Archeogene. Archaeogene offers the archeologists a unique tool that gives them valuable insights into the era their research is focused, further deepen their knowledge on archeological findings and how to preserve them. Prof. Ioannis Liritzis is professor of archaeometry-natural sciences at the University of the Aegean, and Visiting Distinguished Professor at the University of Henan, China (www.huaxiahellas.com). He directs the Laboratory of Archaeometry (he founded in 1999) Director-Coordinator of the Kastrouli Mycenean Settlement archaeological-archaeometrical Project, Member of the European Academy of Sciences & Arts; Corresponding Member of the Academie des Sciences, Arts & Belles Lettres, Dijon, France; Honorary & Guest Professor of Samara State Institute of Culture, Russia; Honorary Fellow Edinburgh University, Honorary Professor Rhodes University, South Africa. His prior career includes the Greek Ministry of Culture (1984–1989) and the Academy of Athens (1989–1999). He is president of the International Delphic Academy (Berlin). His current research interests include: geoarchaeology, bioarchaeology, archaeometry & sustainability, archaeoastronomy. This collaboration gives DNASequence SRL an immense scientific enhancement that sets it apart, and further strengthens its capability footprint.
