Extinct Tiger DNA resurrected
May 20 - DNA from an extinct species has been reactivated in the laboratory for the first time.
The gene from an Australian Tasmanian Tiger was placed inside a mouse embryo by Australian and American scientists.
They extracted DNA from a 100-year-old Tasmanian Tiger or thylacine, which was kept in ethanol in a museum, and injected it into a mouse embryo where it was "expressed" or produced in cartilage.
