🔮 Study authors hope ancient genome research will serve future conservation efforts
Before they were hunted to the brink of extinction, bison once roamed across North America by the millions in thundering stampedes of rust and auburn fur.
New research decoding their DNA is helping to shed light on how the collapse and slow, scattered return of herds to the landscapes they once dominated has forever changed the mighty species.
The research, published in the journal Science, sequenced 160 bison genomes, creating an ancestral roadmap spanning 20,000 years. assertive
