This project investigates the ancient viruses preserved in permafrost and their potential impacts on modern ecosystems. By analyzing the diversity and infectivity of these viruses, the research aims to understand their role in microbial communities and biogeochemical processes as permafrost thaws due to climate change.
Around 17% of the Earth’s terrestrial surface is composed of permafrost, characterized by frozen ground for at least two consecutive years.
Humanity has left Pandora's freezer door open.
With the poles warming 3-times faster than the rest of the world, permafrost is being rapidly lost, potentially releasing ancient microbes locked in frozen soil.
Accumulated evidences show that microbes, including viruses, locked in ancient permafrost can stay viable over millennia.
However, little is known abo…
