a Concentration of target genomic fragments (G6) from purified DNA, unprotected blood, 4 °C silicified blood, and cryosilicified blood samples after aging at 70, 75, 80 °C and 60% RH. b Activation energies of target genomic fragments (G6) from purified DNA, unprotected blood, 4 °C silicified blood, and cryosilicified blood samples after aging at 70, 75, 80 °C, and 60% RH. c Half-lives extrapolated from the experimental decay rate constants. d Estimated half-lives of DNA from cryosilicified blood samples based on the average annual temperature of cities.
