Frozen wolf pup stomach tissue produced a complete woolly rhino genome, implying stable genetics right before extinction hit ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Center for Paleogenetics have managed to analyze the genome from a 14,400-year-old woolly rhinoceros, recovered from a tissue sample found preserved inside the stomach of an ...

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 work marks the first time an Ice Age animal’s complete genome has been recovered from tissue preserved inside another ancient animal.

University of Iowa biologists discovered that a New Zealand freshwater snail duplicated its entire genome, capturing a rare evolutionary transitory state. The finding shows how large-scale genetic ...

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 ...

Learn about the woolly rhino genome that was recovered from a wolf's stomach, providing insight on the extinct species' genetic health.

The stomach of an Ice Age puppy is shedding new light onto the woolly rhinoceros and what—or what didn't—cause these horned giants to die out.

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk," may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...
