In Siberian permafrost, a zombie virus that had lain dormant
for 50,000 years has been revived by researchers.
More than a dozen ancient viruses were discovered by
researchers from the French National Center for
Scientific Research. The depressing
discovery was made in Siberia's deepest ice cores.
13 previously unknown viruses that had been dormant
in the ice for thousands of years and are currently being revived were found by the preliminary inquiry.
