Скачать или смотреть Devin Drown - Revealing the effects of melting permafrost with a MinION

The visible effect of climate events only tells a fraction of the story; a point that is all too true in high-latitude regions characterised by permafrost, where temperatures are rising at twice the global average. With potential effects of thawing of permafrost-associated soils ranging from the direct – altering soil microbial communities – to the indirect – affecting communities’ participation in land-based culture – characterising and measuring these changes is critical. Using a MinION, Devin Drown (University of Alaska Fairbanks, USA) did exactly that, generating metagenomic data from monthly soil samples and highlighting an inextricable link to pathogen evolution and the broader community’s health.
