On the ancestry and evolution of the extinct dire wolf

This study uses paleogenomes of dire wolves to resolve their evolutionary relationships and identify genes under diversifying selection.

Rapid Derivation of Cloning-Competent Cells from Peripheral Blood Advances Conservation Biobanking

This study shows that blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells and pericytes can be used to create viable cell lines faster and more reliably than fibroblasts for conservation biobanking in endangered species.

Multiplex-edited mice recapitulate woolly mammoth hair phenotypes

This study creates a multiplex-edited mouse model with woolly mammoth hair traits, showing curly and textured coats through gene modifications.
