How Arctic Expeditions and Ancient DNA Can Help Humanity Mitigate Climate Change
Author: Darío Sánchez, PhD The frozen soils of the Arctic hold more than ice. Beneath the permafrost lies a genetic archive spanning thousands of years, preserved in soil and the harshest cold on Earth. And even though it seems unrelated, scientists working on projects like TOLERATE are analyzing this ancient DNA to find a way […]
