The developments were announced today by Colossal, a de-extinction and species preservation company. The University of Melbourne's Thylacine Integrated Genetic Restoration Research (TIGRR) Lab ...

The advancements include a newly reconstructed Thylacine genome that is the most complete and contiguous ancient genome of any species to date, estimated to be more than 99.9 percent accurate.

"The thylacine samples used for our new reference genome are among the best preserved ancient specimens my team has worked with," said Beth Shapiro, Colossal's chief science officer and the ...

This advancement is record-breaking and will accelerate the team’s work in returning the thylacine to Australia. The new thylacine genome is exceptional both in its contiguity – it is assembled to the ...

The last known Tasmanian tiger—the top predator of the southern Australian island—died in 1936. But the U.S.-based bioscience company Colossal wants to bring back the species from extinction.

The team behind a bid to 'de-extinct' the Tasmanian tiger says it has made significant breakthroughs, including producing a genome that is 99.9-per-cent accurate. Scientists say the scientific ...

Colossal, a US firm that is aiming to revive lost species such as the woolly mammoth, says it now has a near-complete genome of the extinct thylacine ...

Scientists have made a massive breakthrough in their bid to bring back the Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, they have announced. The marsupial predator has been extinct since 1936 - but the ...

suggesting that evolution may be selecting for something new. They've identified multiple “Thylacine Wolf Accelerated Regions” or TWARs, which were all segments of DNA that controlled the ...

This is the fourth presidential election cycle that I’ve worked as a tech policy analyst and it’s easily been my least busy.
