We read and discussed this recent paper Mitochondrial genomes of Pleistocene megafauna retrieved from recent sediment layers of two Siberian lakes by Seeber et al. preprint (2nd version). COOL thing is you can read the reviewer comments here. Supplementary information can be found here. Please note that there is an older biorxiv version too here.
