Hace seis años veía con ilusión en los medios de comunicación la noticia extraordinaria del hallazgo de múltiples restos de megafauna (hoy miles) encontrados durante la construcción del AIFA. En ese momento no imaginé que iba a tener la oportunidad de participar de esta gran aventura 1/N

Mammoth RNA sequenced for the first time, marking a giant leap toward understanding prehistoric life
Scientists successfully sequence the RNA from woolly mammoths found in Siberia that lived up between 10,000 thousand and 50,000 years ago.

One mother for two species via obligate cross-species cloning in ants - Nature
In a case of obligate cross-species cloning, female ants of Messor ibericus need to clone males of Messor structor to obtain sperm for producing the worker caste, resulting in males from the same mother having distinct genomes and morphologies.
