Elephantid Genomes Reveal the Molecular Bases of Woolly Mammoth Adaptations to the Arctic
Woolly mammoths and living elephants are characterized by major phenotypic differences that have allowed them to live in very different environments. To identify the genetic changes that underlie the suite of woolly mammoth adaptations to extreme cold, we sequenced the nuclear genome from three Asia...
