DNA from the Shroud of Turin reveals centuries of hidden biological history
DNA traces found on the Shroud of Turin reveal a remarkable mixture of human lineages, microbes, plants, animals and coral, accumulated through centuries of handling and travel across continents. The findings do not settle questions of the shroud's age or authenticity, but they expose a rich, hidden biological history preserved in the cloth. This represents one of the most detailed genetic analyses ever conducted on the famous relic.
