Tasmanian tiger moves closer to de-extinction as scientists assemble near-complete genome
Scientists Are Reconstructing the Tasmanian Tiger's DNA, No Biggie!
A super cool discovery has unlocked the most complete Tasmanian tiger genome ever! Researchers at Colossal are using a 110-year-old thylacine skull to bring this extinct marsupial back from the dead. It’s like Jurassic Park, but for a furry creature that’s been gone since 1936. Get ready for some wild science magic!
RNA: The Secret Sauce in Reviving Extinct Species
This isn't just about DNA; scientists have isolated RNA too, which helps them understand how the thylacine used to function. Imagine knowing what it could smell or how its brain worked—pretty mind-blowing stuff!
Bringing Back the “Tassie Tiger” - Why It Matters
Colossal believes reviving the Tasmanian tiger isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s also about restoring balance to ecosystems in Australia. If it works, this could change the game for other extinct species too!
The Race Against Time in Genetic Research
Every second counts as researchers aim to close the gaps in the genome. With advancements happening fast, we're closer than ever to seeing a Tasmanian tiger roam the earth again. Let’s hope they don’t end up in your backyard!
