Genome Analysis Of 46,000-year-old Roundworm From Siberian Permafrost Reveals Novel Species
Some organisms, such as tardigrades, rotifers, and nematodes, can survive harsh conditions by entering a dormant state known as “cryptobiosis.” In 2018, researchers from the Institute of Physicochemical and Biological […]
