I mean Im no resurrection expert but I think getting a decent sample for species that went extinct a long ass time ago would be too unlikely. Then with more recently extinct species with full, intact genome samples available you could probably clone one into existence but I dont think youd be able to keep an extinction vortex from happening and theyd die again. So you wouldnt do much bring the species back to life as you would just a few individuals or whatever. They have sequenced the full code, so they have it, so it would be more the down the line issues theyd have I guess? Yeah basically they would have to inbreed. But also the genomic data that they gathered, from the Dodo for example, was assembled from pieces of different individuals, each with fragments of their genomes intact. So just because we have the data, doesnt mean we have the physical intact genome sitting somewhere. Basically if youre doing while genome sequencing, youre using a computer to make a guess where in the genome that your fragments fit. So it puts together an electronic model of what the genome should look like, though it doesnt physically build the whole genome as its doing it, it just processes all the fragments. I guess we could maybe rebuild a physical copy to use in cloning, but I bet thatd be pretty difficult. Difficulty would increase depending on how small your fragments are. --- 3DS friend code: 5455-9623-0727 <cite>RescueBC posted [p:925800144] in I am a DNA...
