We can use these indices to compare not only of all DNA found on Earth, but someday also compare this to DNA/RNA that might be found on Mars or other planets; our metagenomics framework has already been used as a pilot framework for planetary protection ht

We processed and analyzed samples from the clean rooms of Spacecraft Assembly Facilities at JPL. We identified microbes relevant for planetary protection goals. Thanks to @mason_lab @dcdanko @danjbuts @krista_ryon and Dr. Kasthuri Venkateswaran's team at @
