Prehistoric viruses are coming back #shorts #shortsvideo #youtubeshorts
Deep within the Tibetan Plateau's ancient glaciers, researchers have uncovered hundreds of ancient viruses, many of which were previously unknown to science.
A study published in twenty twenty one revealed that ice cores extracted from glaciers contained genetic material from thirty three viruses, twenty eight of which were entirely new to researchers.
These viruses, some estimated to be up to fifteen thousand years old, were preserved in the ice, offering a glimpse into Earth's distant past and the microbial ecosystems of ancient climates.
