We just doubled the number of mammoth individuals with #million-year-old DNA! 🎉🦣🧬
Our new study reports 11 new #mammoth mitogenomes that are greater than 126,000 years old, of which two are more than one million years old!
Congrats, Camilo (@jcchacond.bsky.social) and everyone!

New paper 🧵
A team co-led by #cpgsthlm 's researcher @jcchacond.bsky.social has analysed DNA from a large number of mammoths across a million-year timescale 🦣🧬
The findings include the discovery and analysis of the oldest known woolly #mammoth in North America!
