Molecular Detection of Viable Microorganisms in Planetary Atmosphere Samples

This research develops and validates cutting-edge molecular assays including qPCR, RNA sequencing, and viability-qPCR techniques for detecting living versus dead microorganisms in extraplanetary air samples with high sensitivity and specificity. These methods provide ground-truth validation for life-detection missions and discriminate terrestrial contamination from potential indigenous microorganisms.
