DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.03.023
Abstract: Resurrecting extinct species through de-extinction by genome editing requires full and unbiased information from the extinct species' genome. A new study establishes a framework to assess how much of an extinct species genome can be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.372.6542.584-e
Abstract: Paleontology Extinct species had complex behaviors, just like modern species, but fossils generally reveal little of these details. New approaches that allow for the study of structures that relate directly to behavior are greatly improving… read more here.
