Extinct Tasmanian Tiger's DNA Revived in Mice (LiveScience.com)
LiveScience.com - DNA from an extinct creature has been resurrected in a live animal for the first time.
The genetic material, extracted from the extinct Tasmanian tiger, proved functional in mice.
"As more and more species of animals become extinct, we are continuing to lose critical knowledge of gene function and their potential," said researcher Andrew Pask, a molecular biologist at the University of Melbourne in Australia.
Reviving genes from extinct animals can't bring them back to life, but it could help retrieve this potentially valuable knowledge. ...
