Recovery of an 18 <sup>th</sup> Century Rhinovirus Genome through Ancient RNA Isolation of Human Lungs

2026-01-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> RNA viruses cause substantial global morbidity, yet their impact prior to the twentieth century remains obscured. While ancient DNA studies have transformed our understanding of past pathogens, ancient RNA (aRNA) isolation is largely restricted to exceptionally preserved samples. Here, we simultaneously recover aDNA and aRNA from non–formalin-fixed human lung specimens and reconstructed an 18th-...
