Scientists have found a 16,000 years old virus

Scientists have found a 16,000 years old virus in two ice samples from China's Tibetan Plateau. Viruses survive for so many years because they are on ice. The oldest virus is found in this glacier ice and scientists have speculated that viruses have been evolving for centuries. Scientists say that the glacier was slowly formed by a combination of viruses, dust and gas. During ice analysis, they Got  identified the genetic 33 viruses codes . Scientists have already identified four of these viruses. However, at least 27 viruses of them have not yet been identified. This virus Genes have a property that helps them infect cells in a cold environment. During division, viruses not share common, universal genes , so that's why new type of viruses are being created here.
