The Power of DNA: Unlocking Nature’s Blueprints

Unlocking Tomorrow with Yesterday’s Genes: How Ancient DNA Is Shaping Our Future

April Joy Jovita

A groundbreaking expedition to Antarctica’s Denman Glacier has revealed how ancient DNA (aDNA) can help scientists predict the future of Earth’s ecosystems. As climate change accelerates, researchers are turning to genetic material preserved in marine life to reconstruct past environments and anticipate how ecosystems might respond to ongoing environmental shifts. The study, led by Australian ...
