“In this article it appears what is being called “soft tissue” is the bone collagen that was sequenced”
that’s what I’m talking about. It is not “soft tissue” it was fossilized collagen protein fragments extracted chemically. It was a fossil.
It’s still interesting, but it’s not like they opened up a cooler and pulled out a steak as the article implies.
I read about contamination. That’s something that should be resolvable. It’s in the “more to come” category
You can’t sequence stone and minerals.
