Ученые раскрывают ДНК-доказательства в древних манускриптах, выявляя скрытые биоданные
Ученые разработали метод извлечения ДНК из древних манускриптов без их повреждения. Этот прорыв позволяет исследователям раскрывать биологическую информацию, скрытую в пергаментах. Техника появляется, несмотря на то, что традиционные методы могут повредить эти исторические артефакты.
