Tests showed the puppy to be roughly 18,000 years old, but further tests led researchers to more questions.
"We have now generated a nearly complete genome sequence from it and normally when you have a two-fold coverage genome, which is what we have, you should be able to relatively easily say whether it’s a dog or a wolf, but we still can’t say and that makes it even more interesting," Love Dalén, professor of evolutionary genetics at the center, said.
The scientists are set to do a third round of genome sequencing, which they hope will solve the mystery, he added.
