Historic specimens highlight the key role viruses play in Arctic ecosystems
A collaboration between several centers and departments of Université Laval and the Natural History Museum of London suggests new avenues to better understand the key role of viruses in Arctic ecosystems. The method used also demonstrates that samples recovered more than 100 years ago can provide new answers using modern genomic tools.
The interdisciplinary collaborations initiated in this project were made possible, in part, by Sentinel North's research program.
