The world’s oldest RNA extracted from woolly mammoth: “gives us a completely different picture” The timespan of when RNA is possible to extract is now pushed back by tens of thousands of years, with researchers now hoping to spark a RNA revolution, after sequencing a woolly mammoth preserved in ...

We met with the “RNA guy” of the study, @marcfriedlander.bsky.social, who teamed up with @lovedalen.bsky.social (@stockholm-uni.bsky.social/@cpgsthlm.bsky.social) & @marmole6.bsky.social (@ucph.bsky.social) 🧪⚒️
