The U.S. National Park Service partnered with the American Museum of Natural History to store endangered species DNA for future research. This five-year renewable agreement allows frozen tissue samples from various threatened and endangered park animals to reside in the Museum's Ambrose Monell Collection for Molecular and Microbial Research. George Amato, Director of the Museum's Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics, joined Bert Frost, Associate Director of Natural Resource Stewardship and Science at the National Park Service, and Darrel Frost, Associate Dean of Science for Collections at the Museum, as they signed the agreement. Produced/Edited by James Sims. For more information on the Monell Collection and the American Museum of Natural History, visit http://www.amnh.org
