DNA was extracted from the baseline LGD lesion, low-coverage whole genome sequencing performed and data processed to detect CNAs. Survival analysis was used to evaluate CNAs as predictors of future AN ...

The Voyager Tardigrades project will focus on these microscopic organisms known for their extreme survival abilities. Scientists will assess their revival, reproduction, and genetic responses in ...

They can enter a state of dormancy when times are tough, reviving on contact with water to feed and grow once more. Like the tardigrades that sometimes inhabit their nooks and crannies their ability ...
