The muscular, long-horned tauros have been bred to be as similar as possible to the ancient aurochs – a mega-herbivore which for millennia played a vital role in shaping landscapes and boosting ...

She took samples from the ten aurochs. It turned out that the aDNA (ancient DNA) of two individuals was so well preserved that they were suitable for deep sequencing and further analyses.
