Thrilled to share our study sequencing genetic data from tropical mammoths 🏝️🦣. First DNA recovered from Columbian mammoths southern than USA shorturl.at/xjIvy. Thanks to all collaborators, you were key to this success! See below a fantastic note covering the paper by the great @rpocisv.bsky.social 👇
Columbian mammoth mitogenomes from Mexico uncover the species’ complex evolutionary history
Paleogenomic studies suggest that Mammuthus columbi derives from an ancient hybridization between Mammuthus primigenius and Mammuthus trogontherii. While its habitat spanned from North to Central Amer...

Happy Fly Day!
November 18th is #Drosophila day. It commemorates the isolation of a white-eyed mutation, which is now used across the world. That mutation is white[1118], with the numbers standing for Nov 18th, the day it was isolated by Bob Levis. 🪰
