Scientists managed to ”draw” a rough draft of mammoth genome, out of frozen hair. This was the most successful attempt to sequence the DNA (almost 80%) of an extinct ancient animal to date, and although we won't see resurrected mammoths grazing the tundra anytime soon, it could give us a peek into the reasons for their extinction. Could it be, that the next step is to clone the mammoth and soon the giant, extinct animals will be running around?!
