Wandering the snowy plains of Siberia up to 40,000 years ago lived not one, but two groups of long-haired and curly-tusked woolly mammoth, side by side. An international team led by Thomas Gilbert at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark has sequenced five new complete genomes of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius). The tally of complete mtDNA genomes for this hairy beast now totals 18. (source: nature.com)
