Scientists have assembled the genome of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth using first-of-its-kind fossil DNA fragments ...

Dalén and his colleagues have come close to sequencing complete woolly mammoth genomes, but a few regions of DNA, such as some strings of repeat code, still prove challenging. So far, Colossal ...

In 2018, they discovered a promising, well-preserved skin sample from a giant titan of the Ice Age: a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth. Typically, ancient DNA fragments yield short snippets of DNA and ...
