Northwestern University Scientists Discover Genetic Secrets behind Snow Fly Cold Survival
March 26, 2026
WASHINGTON, March 26 (TNSjou) -- Northwestern University researchers completed the first genomic sequencing of the snow fly, revealing that these insects survive freezing environments through a unique combination of internal heat generation and antifreeze proteins. The study, led by Marco Gallio, Soretta and Henry Shapiro research professor in molecular biology and a professor of neurobiology at Northwestern's Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, explains how these wingless insects remain . . .
