Not really related, but Interesting paper on DNA degradation rates in fossils. They do discuss optimal temp for storage at −5c.
“In an attempt to document a correlation between sample age and DNA preservation, we use a quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) design to measure relative copy numbers of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fragments from bones of the extinct New Zealand moa ”
