Thanks to nanopore technology, we can trace microbes from years past. A new “nanopore” genetic sequencing device from Oxford Nanopore Technologies uses fewer reagents and chemicals to process the samples than do previous generations of sequencing technology, according to a Wired magazine article quoting Guadalupe Piñar, a microbiologist at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna.

The sequencer is sensitive enough to take what little DNA the researchers can dab off of drawings without damaging valuable articles and relics, and identify an array of microbes.
