Scientists discover RNA molecules from a mammoth that went extinct 40,000 years ago

The never-before-seen biological snapshot provides insight into the young mammoth's final moments, expanding our knowledge of creatures that went extinct tens of thousands of years ago.

People in protective suits examine a frozen woolly mammoth from Siberia named "Yuka" during a media preview at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei November 6, 2013.

Oldest RNA recovered from 40,000-year-old woolly mammoth rewrites decay timeline

The RNA extracted from Yuka's muscle tissue is the oldest ever found, twice as old as the previous record from a 14,300-year-old wolf skin, challenging long-held assumptions about RNA's decay rate.
