NSF backs collaboration to sequence Antarctic genomes
Original: NSF backs research collaboration to sequence Antarctic genomes
The US National Science Foundation is funding a research collaboration led by the University of California, Berkeley to sequence the genomes of Antarctic organisms. The project aims to document the genetic diversity of life in Antarctica, which could help scientists understand how polar species adapt to extreme environments and respond to climate change.
Why now: A new federally funded genomics initiative highlights growing scientific interest in Antarctic biodiversity and climate research.
