How do terrestrial Antarctic organisms survive in their harsh environment? David A Wharton, Craig J Marshall Journal of Biology 2009, 8:39 (29 April 2009) Wharton and Marshall discuss studies in BMC Genomics that identify genes and proteins involved in protecting Antarctic nematodes during desiccation, a strategy they developed to survive in a harsh environment.
