First-ever fossilised ancient chromosomes discovered in 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth skin

In a first of its kind, fossil chromosomes have been discovered in a piece of woolly mammoth skin that was excavated from the Siberian permafrost, according to a recent study. The 52,000-year-old remains were discovered in 2018 close to the northeastern Siberian settlement of Belaya Gora. The chromosomes, which are small thread-like structures that contain genetic material, or DNA, were preserved in perfect detail by the cold temperatures in this area.
