Radiation Resistance of Biological Reagents for In Situ Life Detection

Radiation Resistance of Biological Reagents for In Situ Life Detection

Life on Mars, if it exists, may share a common ancestry with life on Earth derived from meteoritic transfer of microbes between the planets. One means to test this hypothesis is to isolate, detect, and sequence nucleic acids in situ on Mars, then search for similarities to known common features of l...
