Scientists have extracted RNA from an ancient woolly mammoth that gives new insight into the extinct beasts—and might one day boost moonshot efforts to resurrect them. The animal’s body was discovered ...
Well, what about a baby woolly mammoth? A team of Russian scientists is working hard to resurrect this quintessential Ice Age behemoth. But what if they never disappeared in the first place, and still ...
White will officially assume the role in early Spring 2026, joining Managing Director Kimberly E. Douglas on the executive leadership team, with ongoing support from Board President Kaiti Saunders.
Scientists have sequenced RNA from a nearly 40,000-year-old woolly mammoth leg, the oldest ancient RNA ever recovered. These fragile molecules could reveal which genes were active in the animal’s ...
A clip from the upcoming series "Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age" shows how iconic ice age creatures adapted to their changing environment as temperatures rose and ice sheets started to melt. When you ...
In 2010, tusk hunters scouring a riverbank near Siberia’s Arctic coast discovered the mummy of a juvenile mammoth. The animal, nicknamed “Yuka” after the nearby village of Yukagir, had been frozen for ...
The woolly mammoth is probably the single most iconic extinct mammal, leading to seemingly never-ending efforts to resurrect it. To do that, however, scientists will need a good understanding of their ...
Almost 40,000 years ago, a juvenile woolly mammoth died in modern-day Siberia. Today, its long-frozen remains have yielded the oldest sequences of RNA—messenger molecules that carry out genetic ...
New research published in the journal Cell reveals that scientists have managed to extract RNA, the molecule that translates genes into proteins, from the remains of a woolly mammoth that came from ...
Nov. 15 (UPI) --The well-preserved remains of a woolly mammoth found in Siberia enabled scientists to extract RNA for the first time and learn more about the animal. The woolly mammoth died about ...
It was 2012 when Love Dalén, a paleogeneticist at Stockholm University, first laid eyes upon a special specimen on a lab table in eastern Siberia. "Our Russian collaborators said, 'Come here into this ...
