The U.S. National Park Service has partnered the American Museum of Natural History to store endangered species DNA for future research. This five-year renewable agreement allows frozen tissue samples from various threatened and endangered park animals to reside in the Museum’s Ambrose Monell Collection for Molecular and Microbial Research.
George Amato, Director of the Museum’s Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics, recently joined Bert Frost, Associate Director of Natural Resource Stewardship and Science at the National Park Service, and Darrel Frost, Associate Dean of Science for Collections at the Museum, as they signed the agreement.
