Tasmanian tiger de-extinction research advances
Colossal Biosciences says it's made a breakthrough toward the de-extinction of the thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger.
New genome reconstruction advances thylacine de-extinction efforts
New scientific milestones in the mission to reverse the extinction of the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) are advancing University of Melbourne research and progressing potential solutions to the broader extinction crisis.
Scientists claim breakthrough to bringing back Tasmanian tiger from extinction
Scientists claim to have made progress towards "de-extinction" and estimate their DNA sequence for the thylacine - or Tasmanian tiger - is 99.9% accurate.
Most Complete Thylacine Genome Yet Reconstructed In Push For De-Extinction, Company Claims
The team estimates that their new genome of the animal is over 99.9 percent accurate, which they say makes it “the most complete and contiguous ancient genome of any species to date.” Although it still contains 45 gaps, they aim to fix that with additional sequencing efforts in the coming months.
‘De-Extinction’ Company Says It’s Very, Very Close to a Complete Tasmanian Tiger Genome
Colossal Biosciences, which intends to create proxy species of the woolly mammoth, dodo, and Tasmanian tiger, claims it has made genome editing breakthroughs that bring it closer to the lost marsupial wolf.
Tasmanian tiger that went extinct in 1936, may come back because of THIS reason
Scientists made a breakthrough in de-extinction by recovering the nearly complete genome of the extinct Tasmanian tiger from a preserved head. This finding advances efforts to revive the species using cutting-edge genetic engineering and offers hope for the conservation of endangered marsupials.
