Radiocarbon dating of Steller's cow samples, necessary for the selection of the most interesting of them for subsequent deep sequencing, will be carried out in South Korea.

Our team members told viewers on one of the popular TV channels about our and other projects to revive extinct species.

Although the aim of their work was to study aspects of the evolution of fully aquatic species in the mammal superorder Afrotheria, a number of described genes of modern sirenians can be a good help in understanding the genetic features of the Steller's sea cow that ensured its survival in a sub-Arctic climate.

This will allow Internet users and researchers from different countries to quickly receive reliable information about the project

The Arctic Sirenia Research Foundation will not only accumulate scientific knowledge and practical results obtained in the course of the project works, but will also allow any interested parties to participate in their financing.
