How a discovery in Yellowstone National Park led to the development of PCR - Richmond Scientific
A discovery in Yellowstone National Park led to the development of PCR, the gold-standard COVID-19 tests used to fight the global pandemic.
Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪

With the NCBI stuff going down rn I figure I should mention that a couple of weeks ago, links to supplemental information in an NIH article were totally broken for me (I just wanted their protocol 🙃). Maybe its time to switch to EMBL lol
