Researchers have used cryo-EM and computational tools to visualize ribozyme assembly, shedding light on life's most versatile ...

In the final moments of Yuka the woolly mammoth’s life, he may have been trying to outsprint a cave lion. Yuka’s hind legs bear scratches — and in his muscle tissue, scientists have detected molecular ...

Researchers have sequenced the oldest RNA ever recovered, taken from a woolly mammoth frozen for nearly 40,000 years. The RNA reveals which genes were active in its tissues, offering a rare glimpse ...

Some 39,000 years ago, a woolly mammoth died in present-day Siberia, destined to be blanketed by ice and permafrost that would end up preserving its body — even down to the hair and muscle. Now, that ...

A young woolly mammoth now known as Yuka was frozen in the Siberian permafrost for about 40,000 years before it was discovered by local tusk hunters in 2010. The hunters soon handed it over to ...

Scientists have recovered ancient molecules of RNA from a juvenile mammoth named Yuka, who died 40,000 years ago in what is now Siberia. These biological remnants are providing insight into the last ...

Scientists have sequenced the oldest-ever RNA from a 39,000-year-old woolly mammoth named Yuka, whose remains were found frozen on a bluff in northeastern Siberia. The discovery contradicts the ...
