Remains of woolly mammoths have been found in southern Spain, proving that the chilly grip of the last Ice Age extended farther south than thought, palaeontologists said on Thursday. http://www.physorg.com/news166370061.html Other Sciences Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:30:01 EST news166370061 (PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists at Penn State are leaders of a team that is the first to report the genome-wide sequence of an extinct animal, according to Webb Miller, professor of biology and of computer science and engineering and one of the project's two leaders. The scientists sequenced the genome of the woolly mammoth, an extinct species of elephant that was adapted to living in the cold environment of the northern hemisphere. They sequenced four billion DNA bases using next-generation DNA-sequencing instruments and a novel approach that reads ancient DNA highly efficiently. http://www.physorg.com/news146320618.html Biology Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:36:58 EST news146320618 In a surprising reversal of conventional wisdom, a DNA-based study has revealed that the last of the woolly mammoths -which lived between 40,000 and 4,000 years ago -had roots that were exclusively North American. http://www.physorg.com/news139749841.html Biology Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:24:01 EST news139749841
