More than 14,000 years ago, a wolf pup ate a piece of woolly rhino. Scientists have analyzed the rhino's DNA to figure out ...

The work marks the first time an Ice Age animal’s complete genome has been recovered from tissue preserved inside another ...

A bizarre and ugly fish that has been around for hundreds of millions of years has been discovered to have the most DNA of any animal ever found. These South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) ...

The digested meat from the wolf pup’s last meal, which took place a staggering 14,400 years ago, contained enough DNA from ...

An unusual DNA source shows woolly rhinos did not slowly decline genetically, pointing instead to rapid climate warming.

The longest genome of all the animals on Earth belongs not to a giant, or a cognitively advanced critter, but a writhing, water-dwelling creature seemingly frozen in time, right at the cusp of ...

Scientists have sequenced the largest genome of all animals, the lungfish genome. Their data help to explain how the fish-ancestors of today's land vertebrates were able to conquer land. Thirty times ...

The animal's DNA suggests the species kept up a healthy population until just before it was wiped out – seemingly due to ...

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...

Plants, algae and some bacteria are able to perform photosynthesis, which is the process of transforming sunlight energy into sugar. Animals are generally unable to use this process to acquire energy, ...
