Researchers have reconstructed a woolly rhinoceros genome from tissue found in the stomach of a 14,400-year-old wolf pup. This type of DNA extraction is the first of its kind and is shedding light on woolly rhino populations near the end of the last Ice Age.

The work marks the first time an Ice Age animal’s complete genome has been recovered from tissue preserved inside another ancient animal.
