1. MIT scientists have developed a new method for long-term DNA preservation inspired by the concept of Jurassic Park. 2. The method involves storing DNA in an amber-like polymer, which is easier to embed and extract compared to traditional freezing or silica embedding methods. 3. This new approach is highly scalable and offers a promising solution for preserving genetic information over extended periods.
