Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ...
The digested meat from the wolf pup’s last meal, which took place a staggering 14,400 years ago, contained enough DNA from ...
Researchers from the Center for Paleogenetics have managed to analyze the genome from a 14,400-year-old woolly rhinoceros, ...
The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...
The work marks the first time an Ice Age animal’s complete genome has been recovered from tissue preserved inside another ...
The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...
The stomach of an Ice Age puppy is shedding new light onto the woolly rhinoceros and what—or what didn't—cause these horned ...
Learn about the woolly rhino genome that was recovered from a wolf's stomach, providing insight on the extinct species' genetic health.
The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide. Viruses are known to use the ...
