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! Below a fantastic note covering the paper 👇

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. Although its habitat spanned from North to Central...

@BIOINTERACTIVE and @BioEspanol ambassadors are from the US, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, and are doing the important work of developing, workshopping and studying teaching materials that will shape the minds of the youth.

Within minutes of arrival and over the 2 days, I had already met people from Pakistan, Ecuador, Mexico, Nepal, Venezuela and different parts of Africa. It reminded me of how one of the things I loved most about living in the US was the diversity of people, foods and cultures.
