Scientists have begun work on the carcass at the Yakut Institute a female mammoth with “red meat, almost fresh.” At the moment, researchers have already taken samples of preserved DNA composition, which in the future may become a breakthrough. One of the main goals facing scientists now, is holistic mammoth cloning. And Malolyakhovsky mammoth can help with this. 
Photos from open sources The main reason for such an amazing the safety of the mammoth’s huge body was that it was previously frozen, that is, lay in the ice for several thousand years. Also research experts found that the female mammoth died from falling into a hole where there was ice and could not get out, for a long time experiencing the pangs of cold. This historical fact has been proven by scientists, thanks to the usual blood test. Association Vice President medical anthropologists of the Russian Federation Radik Khairullin said scientists have a chance to clone mammoth found in Yakutia. Khairullin is involved in dissection of the soft tissues of this mammoth, reports YSIA. Researchers managed to take samples of preserved blood, where available DNA, which allows with a high degree of probability to carry out cloning a mammoth who lived 43 thousand years ago. According to specialists, the samples are perfectly preserved for such a long period time. Scientists saw “vessels with a good wall, where there is hemolyzed blood. They first found red blood cells. Adipose tissue and muscle tissue were also well preserved. There are migratory lymphoid tissue cells that are good visualized, which is also unique, “said the manager educational and clinical clinical diagnostic laboratory Medical Clinics of Northeastern Federal University of Victoria Egorova.

In addition, there is an assumption that mammoth blood may have some cryoprotective properties that allow you to survive cold to minus 60 degrees Celsius. Mammoth blood test allowed find out that the animal died an unnatural death. According to scientists, the female mammoth fell into an ice pit, from where she could not get out. “Scientists are just happy. The blood circulatory vessels full of blood, contents of the gastrointestinal tract “, – said the director of the laboratory of the mammoth museum named after Peter Lazarev Semen Grigoriev. According to him, today for the first time in the world they are dissecting mammoth trunk, in which soft tissues were preserved. results studies will be announced at the VI workshop on mammoth fauna, to be held in May in Greece.
