The extinct woolly mammoth might be resuscitated with a 3D reconstruction of its genome

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and ColosSAL Biosciences have recreated the DNA of the woolly mammoth, a species that lived more than 60,000 years ago. The researchers found nearly intact chromosomes in 52,000-year-old skin samples from the woolly mammoth. They’re trying to recreate the three-dimensional structure of the DNA, including the chromosomes, of an extinct creature.
