DNA Fragments in Crude Oil Reveals Earth's Hidden History
read the original abstract
This groundbreaking research extracted DNA from petroleum using nanoparticle affinity bead technology, yielding 3,159,020 petroleum DNA (pDNA) sequences, primarily environmental DNA. While most original in situ DNA (oriDNA) was lost, ancient DNA (aDNA) from petroleum offers an important source of ecological and evolutionary information, surpassing traditional fossils. This study reveals that oil, mainly sourced from algae and lower aquatic plants, now serves as a new type of fossil, providing detailed insights into Earth's hidden history, including unclassified species and ancient events, revolutionizing petroleum geology and paleontology.
