Abstract
Elena Essel (Msc) spoke to Ebony Torrington, Managing Editor of BioTechniques. Essel is a molecular biologist in Matthias Meyer's Advanced DNA Sequencing Techniques group at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig (Germany). Essel studied biology at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Erlangen, Germany) for her bachelor's and in Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg (Halle an der Saale, Germany) for her master's. Essel worked in Meyer's group on DNA extraction of very degraded material for her master's thesis. Meyer is an expert in developing new cutting-edge methods for researching ancient DNA, with a focus on skeletal remains, and more recently on sediment remains. Essel now focusses on DNA sampling and extraction aspects of the pipeline at Meyer's lab for the ancient DNA workflow.
Elena Essel（理学硕士）接受了《生物技术》杂志执行编辑 Ebony Torrington 的采访。Essel 是德国莱比锡马克斯-普朗克进化人类学研究所 Matthias Meyer 高级 DNA 测序技术小组的分子生物学家。Essel 曾在埃尔兰根-纽伦堡大学（德国埃尔兰根）攻读生物学学士学位，并在哈雷-维滕贝格马丁-路德大学（德国哈雷-萨尔州）攻读硕士学位。在硕士论文中，Essel 在 Meyer 的小组中研究如何从极度降解的材料中提取 DNA。迈耶是开发研究古代 DNA 的尖端新方法方面的专家，其研究重点是骨骼遗骸，最近则是沉积物遗骸。现在，Essel 在 Meyer 的实验室主要负责古代 DNA 工作流程中的 DNA 采样和提取工作。
期刊介绍：
BioTechniques is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original laboratory methods, related technical and software tools, and methods-oriented review articles that are of broad interest to professional life scientists, as well as to scientists from other disciplines (e.g., chemistry, physics, computer science, plant and agricultural science and climate science) interested in life science applications for their technologies.
Since 1983, BioTechniques has been a leading peer-reviewed journal for methods-related research. The journal considers:
Reports describing innovative new methods, platforms and software, substantive modifications to existing methods, or innovative applications of existing methods, techniques & tools to new models or scientific questions
Descriptions of technical tools that facilitate the design or performance of experiments or data analysis, such as software and simple laboratory devices
Surveys of technical approaches related to broad fields of research
Reviews discussing advancements in techniques and methods related to broad fields of research
Letters to the Editor and Expert Opinions highlighting interesting observations or cautionary tales concerning experimental design, methodology or analysis.
