Fossil chromosomes have been found preserved in a 52,000-year-old mammoth 🦣🧬 But the way they're preserved could revolutionise our understanding of ancient life Listen to me on The Economist pod 🧵 shows.acast.com/theintelligenc…

Woolly mammoth genome reconstructed in 3D from fossil chromosomes lemonde.fr/en/science/art…

On the frozen tundra of Siberia some 50,000 years ago, a woolly mammoth met its end under mysterious circumstances go.nature.com/4bFhXf2

A new paper describes the discovery of fossil chromosomes—coiled-up strands of DNA millions of base pairs long—inside the cells of mammoths that died tens of thousands of years ago econ.st/3zzLqtz 👇

An amazing team effort. Glad we are finally able to share all the details!

First ever 3D reconstruction of woolly #mammoth chromosomes thanks to serendipitously freeze-dried skin. Read more in Cell: cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Erez Lieberman Aiden Olga Dudchenko 🇺🇦 Marc A. Marti-Renom

Woolly mammoth DNA in an exceptional state of preservation has been obtained from 52,000-year-old freeze-dried 'jerky'. It’s even possible to reconstruct the 3D structure of the chromosomes, which may help efforts to resurrect the species. newscientist.com/article/243921…

[NEW] A veritable stampede of researchers banded together to shoulder a truly mammoth task that takes #epigenetics pre-historic! Using PaleoHi-C, they've described the 3D genome architecture of preserved cells from 52,000-year-old animal skin! 🦣bit.ly/3WwlIiJ

Excited to share our new paper Nature Communications. bit.ly/3WUkxbJ Single-nucleosome imaging reveals that condensins act as molecular crosslinkers, locally constraining nucleosomes to organize mitotic chromosomes. Nucleosome-nucleosome interactions constrain whole chromosomes.

The last thylacine died on Sep 7 1936. 60y later National Threatened Species Day was established to spotlight Aussi species facing peril. In observation, we share assembly for Kyloring, parrot prioritized for recovery. W Perth Zoo UWA Dr Parwinder Kaur: dnazoo.org/post/wing-of-c…
