Warwick University DNA sampling 2539
The plant that produced phuti karpash, the cotton used to manufacture muslin has not been cultivated in nearly 200 years. In an attempt to revive the plant, Drik has been obtaining the nearest available wild strains and mapping their DNA at laboratories at Warwick University and the Smithsonian Institute. A very high level of sterility is required in the labs to avoid contamination of the DNA samples.
