Today’s issue of Cell has 2 mammoth papers (w. CPG staff)! Marcela Sandoval-Velasco et al. presents a discovery of 3D structure in the Chris Waddle mammoth genome: cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Marianne Dehasque et al. disentangles the mammoth’s extinction using 21 genomes: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Researchers from #CpgSthlm, Edana Lord, Amanda Lindahl & Love Dalén, have been helping out with excavations in Atapuerca, Spain. Always good to learn how much work is behind fossil collections! Huge thanks to Carmen NL, Mª Pilar Alfaro-Ibáñez, Asier GómezOlivencia & others for hosting us!
Just for fun, we tried combining one of our Wrangel Island photos with the Generative AI Fill function in Adobe Photoshop to illustrate a woolly mammoth on the beach. We are not impressed, but we are most definitively entertained! 😂 More about Wrangel 🦣: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Yesterday, our team from #CpgSthlm recovered a 2-metre lake bottom sediment core from Nares Land on northern Greenland (82 deg N). The project is part of the #GEOEO Expedition organised by SvenskPolarforskning, and aims to study Greenland’s prehistory using ancient DNA.
Watch Icebreaker Oden slam into, and even jumping onto, the >4 metre multiyear ice of the Lincoln Sea! 💪💪💪 No ship has ever been here before… Our team from #CpgSthlm is onboard, collecting ancient DNA samples along the N Greenland coast. #GEOEO Expedition SvenskPolarforskning
