Scientists managed to extract a high-coverage genome of an extinct woolly rhino from an undigested piece of its flesh found in the stomach of a permafrost-preserved 14kyo wolf pup. 🧪🏺
One of the last woolly rhinos to walk Earth was eaten by a wolf pup — and scientists have now sequenced its genome from the undigested meat
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 why it went extinct.

Nice use of stable isotopes to explore past human mobility. Rather than the old myths of mass migrations of 'Anglo Saxons' into Britain, such scientific studies provide valuable data.
