A research team has sequenced the complete genomes of two ancient bears using only urine and feces contained in soil samples from the Chiquihuite Cave in Northern Mexico, which is a science first. The discovery demonstrates that near-complete genomes and high-quality DNA can be reconstructed and analyzed without fossils. According to Elizabeth Pennisi of Science, researchers used the tool to piece together the origins of North American Stone Age bears. The research was published in Current Biology this month.
