‘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.
Most complete Tasmanian tiger genome yet pieced together from 110-year-old pickled head
Researchers working with Colossal Biosciences have assembled a near-complete Tasmanian tiger genome and developed artificial reproductive technologies that could help de-extinct the species.
Gruesome 110-year-old find could bring extinct Tasmanian Tiger back to life
A century-old find might play a huge role in bringing the extinct Tasmanian Tiger back to life. Researchers at a Melbourne museum couldn't believe their luck when, during their attempts to bring back the thylacine, better known as the Tasmanian Tiger, they found the answer in the back of a cupboard.
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.
Hidden for over a century, a preserved Tasmanian Tiger head “found in a bucket” may bring the lost species back from extinction
In a quiet corner of a Melbourne museum, researchers stumbled upon an unexpected biological treasure. It may hold the key to resurrecting one of the world’s most iconic extinct species: the Tasmanian tiger,
110-year-old pickled Tasmanian tiger skull provides clues to resurrect species
The reconstructed genome, which is over 99.9% accurate, was developed from a 110-year-old preserved, pickled head of a thylacine.
A 110-year-old pickled tiger head could help bring back a long lost species
The most complete genome of the extinct Tasmanian tiger has been sequenced by DNA from a 110-year-old pickled head. Thanks to DNA technology, experts are able to sequence the genome of some of planet Earth’s most iconic yet extinct species,
