Ancient chromosomes from woolly mammoth discovered in 52,000-year-old freeze-dried skin

In a breakthrough that could boost de-extinction efforts, scientists have determined the 3D structure of a woolly mammoth's genome from a 52,000-year-old piece of freeze-dried skin. When you purchase ...

Frozen mammoth skin retained its chromosome structure

One of the challenges of working with ancient DNA samples is that damage accumulates over time, breaking up the structure of the double helix into ever smaller fragments. In the samples we've worked ...
