An international research team has assembled the genome and 3D chromosomal structures of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth -- the first time such a feat has been achieved for any ancient DNA sample.

Some of the world’s oldest microbial DNA has been found preserved in the mammoth remains dating back over one million years. An international team, led by researchers at the Centre for Palaeogenetics ...

An international team led by researchers at the Center for Paleogenetics, has uncovered microbial DNA preserved in woolly and steppe mammoth remains dating back more than one million years. The ...

In a world-first study, we have revealed and analysed remarkably preserved fragments of ancient DNA from the skin of a woolly mammoth. For the first time, we’ve been able to understand how the genetic ...

Wooly Mammoth blood hemoglobin has been resurrected by an international team of scientists, marking the first time that a protein has been brought to life from an extinct species. The researchers ...

Some 39,000 years ago, a woolly mammoth died in present-day Siberia, destined to be blanketed by ice and permafrost that would end up preserving its body — even down to the hair and muscle. Now, that ...
