IN FOCUS
New study shows how DNA is recognized by proteins that control gene expression
With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.
Ancient wolves on remote Baltic Sea island reveal link to prehistoric humans
Scientists have found wolf remains, thousands of years old, on a small, isolated island in the Baltic Sea – a place where the animals could only have been brought by humans. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, Stockholm University, the University of Aberdeen and the University of East Anglia, suggests that grey wolves may have been managed or controlled by prehistoric societies.
Stockholm University top 50 in the world in four subjects
The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) by Subject 2025 places Stockholm University in the global top 50 in four subjects, and number one in Sweden in four subjects. The highest ranked subject is Environmental Science & engineering where Stockholm University is ranked 18 in the world.
The world’s oldest RNA extracted from woolly mammoth
Researchers from Stockholm University have – for the first time ever – managed to successfully isolate and sequence RNA molecules from Ice Age woolly mammoths. These RNA sequences are the oldest ever recovered and come from mammoth tissue preserved in the Siberian permafrost for nearly 40,000 years. The study, published in the journal Cell, shows that not only DNA and proteins, but also RNA, can be preserved for very long periods of time, and provide new insights into the biology of species that have long since become extinct.
