WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSres) -- The National Science Foundation issued the following news release:
An international team of scientists assembled the woolly mammoth's genetic code using fossilized chromosomes from a 52,000-year-old carcass discovered in Siberian permafrost. The mammoth became freeze-dried on death, preserving the 3D structure of ancient chromosomes thread-like structures containing DNA in the skin down to the nanometer scale and providing far more information th . . .
