woolly mammoth

Comparing mammoth and elephant genomes revealed genetic mutations that may have helped mammoths survive in the Arctic.

Researchers identified mutations in genes that may be involved in fat regulation, fur growth, and morphology.

A report of preserved fragments of nuclei and chromatin in a fossilized femur of a 125-million-year-old Caudipteryx dinosaur elicits skepticism.

The documentary weaves together a hunt for mammoth tusks in the Arctic with scenes from the front lines of synthetic biology.

During the last ice age, there wasn’t much plant matter to eat on northern steppes, but herbivorous woolly mammoths were abundant. How did they survive?

Gene flow between elephant species was a common feature of their evolutionary history.

In chapter 4, “Why Recreate the Woolly Mammoth?” author Britt Wray explores the social consequences of bringing an iconic species back from extinction.

Researchers are using the powerful gene-editing tool to recreate the woolly mammoth.
