Woolly mammoths may make a comeback as scientists make groundbreaking advances in genetic research. The oldest-ever RNA from a 39,000-year-old specimen was extracted, revealing new insights into the extinct giant’s biology. ‌

Swedish researchers have unveiled a major scientific milestone . They have successfully extracted the world’s oldest RNA from a mammoth preserved in Siberian permafrost. ‌

RNA is a molecule found in all living things that helps turn the instructions in our DNA into real-life actions, like
