Summary/Abstract: The direct examination of the skeletal remains in the laboratories of Masaryk University was completed on 3 November 2021. The skeletal remains of all the members of the Order of St. Augustine exhumed from the section of the tomb where Gregor Johann Mendel was buried were returned to the Order on that day. The remains were transported from the MU campus in Brno-Bohunice to the St. Thomas Abbey, where in the Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady they were placed in new, smaller coffins made of dark wood with a light cross and the names of the deceased. Further scientific research was carried out using only previously collected samples of biological material and data obtained during the anthropological and genetic analyses.
