Zombie Viruses: Blast from the Past | Illumina SciMon Video

2014年9月22日

One of the risks of global warming and the melting of the permafrost is that ancient microbes can be released into the environment. In a recent paper, the authors demonstrated that live, ancient viruses could be recovered from the Siberian permafrost. Naturally, these viruses present risks and need to be monitored. Recent research on examines how microbes in our environment can colonize our gut, and how infants influence the process.
