NSF funds collaboration to sequence Antarctic genomes
Original: NSF backs research collaboration to sequence Antarctic genomes
The US National Science Foundation has approved funding for a research collaboration led by University of California, Berkeley to sequence the genomes of Antarctic organisms. The project aims to map the genetic makeup of life in Antarctica, aiding studies of evolution, biodiversity and how polar species respond to climate change.
Why now: New NSF funding for Antarctic genome sequencing is a notable science development with implications for climate and biodiversity research.
