To rebuild the iconic mammoth, the Materialise team had to 3D scan a total of 320 bones, which were then printed on (appropriately named) Mammoth Stereolithography printers. The pieces are now due to ...

An international research team has assembled the genome and 3D chromosomal structures of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth—the first time such a feat has been achieved for any ancient DNA sample. This ...

An international research team has assembled the genome and 3D chromosomal structures of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth -- the first time such a feat has been achieved for any ancient DNA sample.

Scientists have recreated the three-dimensional structure of the woolly mammoth's genetic blueprint. The accomplishment, described Thursday in the journal Cell, marks what is believed to be the first ...

Giorgia Guglielmi is a science journalist in Basel, Switzerland. The team also revealed the spatial organization of the mammoth’s DNA molecules and the active genes in its skin, including one ...

A researcher takes a sample from a 52,000-year-old mammoth skin collected in 2018 during an international expedition to Belaya Gora, Siberia. LOVE DALÉN, STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY The story begins 52,000 ...

In a breakthrough that could boost de-extinction efforts, scientists have determined the 3D structure of a woolly mammoth's genome from a 52,000-year-old piece of freeze-dried skin. When you purchase ...

Roughly 52,000 years ago, a woolly mammoth died in the Siberian tundra. As her body flash froze in the biting cold, something remarkable happened: Her DNA turned into a fossil. It wasn’t only genetic ...

Scientists believe the mammoth was so well-preserved because of the dry, cold climate in Siberia. Love Dalén / Stockholm University Some 52,000 years ago, a female woolly mammoth with a shaggy, mullet ...

This is incredible. The Smithsonian has released a new 3D modeling tool, complete with scans of some of its most famous objects. The scans themselves are pretty gorgeous, with aerial and rotating ...
