For the first time, researchers have uncovered and analysed the 3D structures of a woolly mammoth genome. The 52,000-year-old specimen was so well preserved that hair follicles and the shape of the muscles were still intact, with one scientist likening the location of the find to dying "in the deep freezer".

Say hello to lab-grown mammoth meatballs. This meatball was created by Australian scientist Tim Noakesmith who sequenced real Wooly Mammoth DNA to produce it. They splice that DNA with gene sequences from the African elephant and let it all grow in a sheep culture where it becomes the giant mammoth meatball you see before you. Honestly I can’t trust or recommend it to anyone, but who knows. Maybe mammoth is the new superfood they’ll push on us next? #Mammoth #Meatball #CulturedMeat #Genetics | F
