Reacción a "Mammoth DNA recovered for the first time with its chromosome structure"

It is a study that provides new biological evidence about the mammoth genome, especially its three-dimensional structure.

The experimental approach is really fascinating. This technique can provide data on the genomic architecture of extinct species that was not available until now. It remains to be seen how many species can be analysed in this way, as the preservation conditions in a cold and dry episode are very special and it seems likely that they can only occur in extremely cold climates.
