Scientists sequence oldest RNA from 40,000-year-old mammoth

Researchers at Stockholm University have isolated and sequenced the oldest RNA ever recovered, from a woolly mammoth preserved in Siberian permafrost for nearly 40,000 years. This breakthrough reveals active genes in the mammoth's tissues, providing insights into its biology and final moments. The findings, published in Cell, demonstrate RNA's surprising longevity and open new avenues for studying extinct species.
