First 3D Chromosomes Found in 52,000-Year-Old Woolly Mammoth Skin
Scientists have successfully created a 3D reconstruction of 52,000-year-old chromosomes from freeze-dried woolly mammoth skin found in Siberia, revealing active genes in the skin cells when the mammoth was alive. This groundbreaking achievement in ancient DNA research could aid efforts to de-extinct the mammoth by integrating its genes into modern elephants.
