Evolution: The Island of Misfit Mammoths

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

The genomes of two woolly mammoths have been sequenced. One of the last survivors had reduced genetic diversity. Although divergent in their mitochondrial genomes, the mammoths had similar nuclear genomes, a finding germane to elephant conservation.
