By human standards, Life on Earth has been able to adapt to the most inhospitable of places; polar regions, warm deserts, deep oceans, pitch black caves, toxic lakes, and even nuclear waste sites. Organisms that thrive in extreme environments are often called extremophiles, and underlying the unique adaptations to such harsh conditions is their genetic backdrop.

This Collection is open to the latest genetic and genomic research focusing on how different organisms have evolved to not only tolerate but flourish in the most extreme environments.
