Have we sequenced an entire genome of an extinct animal?
Scientists Sequence Woolly Mammoth Genome–the First of an Extinct Animal. The largest European specimen of a Wooly Mammoth. The genome sequence of the woolly mammoth was the first sequence of the genome of an extinct animal, and it opened up the possibility of reconstructing species from the last Ice Age.

How many animals have sequenced genomes right now?
Currently, scientists have only sequenced the genomes of about 3,500 species of complex life and only about 100 have been sequenced at “reference quality” which is used for in-depth research.
What was the first animal to have its genome mapped?
roundworm C. elegans
The roundworm C. elegans became the first animal to have its genome sequenced, in 1998.
What was the first animal genome sequenced?
Roundworm C. elegans
elegans Sequenced. In December 1998, the first genome sequence of a multicellular organism, the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, was completed. C.
Has the mammoth genome been sequenced?
In a new study, we show mammoth DNA as old as 1.2 million years can be recovered from remains found in permafrost deposits. By sequencing this DNA – studying the make up of its genetic information – we found a lineage of mammoths never described before, the hybrid origin of a mammoth species, and more.
How many species have had their genomes sequenced?
What other genomes have been sequenced? Researchers have sequenced the complete genomes of hundreds of animals and plants-more than 250 animal species and 50 species of birds alone-and the list continues to grow almost daily.
How many mammal genomes have been sequenced?
“The comparison of the genomes from the 240 mammals will help geneticists to identify the mutations that lead to human diseases,” said Professor Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, a researcher at Uppsala University, SciLifeLab and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
How many humans have had their genomes sequenced?
500,000 individuals
Storing the data files for the 18,000 whole human genomes that an Illumina X10 can produce annually requires approximately 5.4 petabytes. As of January 2017, more than 500,000 individuals have had their genomes sequenced; that number will continue to rise in the coming years (63, 64).
