HOST GENOME
In 1950, Australia used a virus as a biological weapon against millions of rabbits; scientists just decoded how they fought back, using DNA from a rabbit that once belonged to Charles DarwinAustralia's 1950 introduction of the myxoma virus to control rabbits backfired as evolution intervened. Scientists, analyzing rabbit DNA ac...- Where native rats disappear, something far more dangerous takes overMadagascar's unique wildlife faces a threat from invasive black rats.
