New paper on preserving biological signatures from glaciers

​How can we detect and preserve biological signals from glaciers and other remote field environments?

In our new paper, published in Frontiers in Microbiology and led by Chris Trivedi, we tested the efficacy of different DNA & RNA preservation methods on glacier snow and ice samples.
