![]() Researchers have resurrected a 50,000-year-old zombie virus that had remained dormant in Siberian permafrost.
The preprint investigation discovered 13 previously unseen viruses that had been latent in the ice for thousands of years and are currently being resurrected. Pandoravirus yedoma, a 48,500-year-old virus, was resurrected by researchers Have such been discovered before? And if so, what impact does it have? Yes. The same researchers discovered a 30,000-year-old virus frozen in permafrost in 2014 and confirmed that it could still infect creatures after all that time. Researchers are now thawing the 13 new viruses in order to analyse their influence on public health. The ancient virus was given the name Pandoravirus yedoma, which acknowledges its size and the type of permafrost soil that it was found in Source: ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Scientists are thawing out these ancient viruses in order to a*sess their impacts on public health. As the permafrost, or permanently frozen ground, melts in the Northern Hemisphere, the thawing ice releases tons of trapped chemicals and microbes. “Due to climate warming, irreversibly thawing permafrost is releasing organic matter frozen for up to a million years, most of which decomposes into carbon dioxide and methane, further enhancing the greenhouse effect,” the study’s authors wrote. “Part of this organic matter also consists of revived cellular microbes (prokaryotes, unicellular eukaryotes) as well as viruses that remained dormant since prehistorical times.” Give me a cookie.

For an example Buf what if an old marine virus that was frozen for x amount of years hit the snow crabs? People be on some fu*k science sh*t online while science made online possible Dont get me wrong science is still used for peoples agendas in some cases But without people dedicated to finding the facts, there is no modern world as we know it. | |
