About the research
Gontran Sonet is kind of a CSI-specialist at the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences. He too analyzes the DNA of deceased individuals. But instead of investigating human bodies for forensic purposes, Gontran studies the DNA of insects and other museum specimens. In this way he can, for example, determine if two bees that look very similar indeed belong to the same species. The purpose: gain better understanding of our fascinating planet and its nature.
