Unique DNA Polymerase Genes Found in High-Altitude Wetlands
A new study reveals that isolated alpine wetlands, such as the Napahai plateau wetland in Yunnan Province, contain a distinct microbial genetic profile that differs from marine, freshwater, hot spring, and agricultural environments. Researchers analyzed DNA polymerase genes—enzymes essential for copying DNA and maintaining genome stability—to uncover how geographic and environmental conditions shape microbial diversity … Read more
