Experts created a 3D reconstruction of chromosomes from a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth specimen found in Siberia, providing detailed genetic information for potential de-extinction efforts.
The well-preserved mammoth tissue allowed scientists to not only identify active and dormant genes but also understand the genetic makeup potentially necessary to 'edit' an elephant genome for mammoth-like features.
