Genetic variation at hair length candidate genes in elephants and the extinct woolly mammoth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background Like humans, the living elephants are unusual among mammals in being sparsely covered with hair. Relative to extant elephants, the extinct woolly mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, had a dense hair cover and extremely long hair, which likely were
