Colossal's 99.9% Accurate Thylacine Genome Marks Breakthrough in Tasmanian Tiger De-Extinction Effort
Oct 16, 2024, 08:32 PM
A team of US and Australian researchers has made significant breakthroughs in efforts to bring the Tasmanian tiger (thylacine) back from extinction. They have successfully sequenced the thylacine genome with 99.9% accuracy, a world-first achievement described as '99.9% of the puzzle.' This progress was made possible by a 'putrid' specimen found in a museum cupboard. The de-extinction company Colossal Biosciences claims multiple scientific firsts in this endeavor. While scientists welcome the advancement, they express caution and wish to see the data supporting these claims.
