Europe s largest meteorite crater - home to deep ancient fungi

Fractured rocks of impact craters have been suggested to be suitable environments for deep colonization of microbial communities. In a new study published in Communications Earth & Environment, a team of researchers shows that fungi has colonized deep parts of the largest impact crater in Europe, the Siljan impact structure, Sweden. Intriguingly, the fungi seem to have been fueling methane production in the crater.

Mammoth DNA Breaks Record for World s Oldest Sequence

The First Example of Hybrid Speciation in Ancient DNA The new study has also amplified the ability for researchers to track the evolutionary process of speciation – the formation of new and distinct species. A Nature press release states that this process generally occurs “over time periods that are thought to be beyond the limits of DNA research.” A tusk from a woolly mammoth discovered in a creek bed on Wrangel Island in 2017.

Adycha and Chukochya are believed to be members of a species that spawned the woolly mammoth, but Krestovka appears to come from an unknown, and possibly entirely new, mammoth lineage. Tom van der Valk, the study’s lead author and a bioinformatician at the University of Uppsala in Sweden, explains the researchers’

Oldest DNA Ever Found Belongs to Million-Year-Old Mammoth

Oldest DNA Ever Found Belongs to Million-Year-Old Mammoth Twitter 0 comments Because state-of-the-art genetic sequencing is bonkers good, scientists are making DNA-related discoveries all the time. Including ones that are exceptionally funky. Now, a team of scientists in Sweden says it has a partial sequence of a genome belonging to a million-plus-year-old mammoth. And the newly discovered DNA is, in fact, the oldest in the world. Science News reported on the discovery, which scientists were able to make thanks to a trio of mammoth-tooth specimens. Archaeologists excavated the specimens (immediately below) in the Siberian Permafrost in the 1970s, but it’s only recently that scientists have had the technology necessary to sequence their DNA so deeply.
