The golden Age of Species revelation: How DNA Sequencing is Unveiling the Secrets of Life on Earth
By Rachel Kim, World-Today-News.com – November 2, 2023
For centuries, the task of cataloging life on Earth felt impossibly daunting. Millions of species, many hidden in remote corners of the globe or simply overlooked, remained unknown to science. But a revolution is underway, fueled by a powerful technology: DNA sequencing. We are now entering what experts are calling a “Golden Age of species discovery,” and the pace of uncovering Earth’s biodiversity is accelerating at an unprecedented rate.
The breakthrough began in the 1970s, when scientists first learned to decode segments of an organism’s DNA, translating the genetic code into a string of
