Genomic DNA sequences from mastodon and woolly mammoth reveal deep speciation of forest and savanna elephants.

Genomic DNA sequences from mastodon and woolly mammoth reveal deep speciation of forest and savanna elephants.

To elucidate the history of living and extinct elephantids, we generated 39,763 bp of aligned nuclear DNA sequence across 375 loci for African savanna elephant, African forest elephant, Asian elephant, the extinct American mastodon, and the woolly mammoth. Our data establish that the Asian elephant...
