Animals Scientists Are Trying To Bring Back
Attempts are being made by scientists all over the world to perfect the method of cloning.
Animals scientists are trying to bring back. The resulting organisms would have features of both modern organisms and extinct ones. On Friday at a National Geographic sponsored TEDx conference scientists met in Washington DC. The result of their experiments would produce only partial de-extinction however.
In a unique and surprising announcement scientists revealed that they are now planning to bring back to life certain animals which have been extinct for thousands of. Generally it helps if there is a species still alive today that is genetically similar to the extinct animal like elephants for woolly mammoths or cows for aurochs. And the heath hen a stumpy avian wallflower that lived in the scrubby plains of New England.
Advances in science specifically biotechnology could enable scientists to bring some of these animals back from extinction and there are a few already on the list. What dangerous animals are scientists trying to bring back. To discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction.
With backbreeding scientists use a living species that is genetically similar to the extinct species and selectively breed it for the traits of the now-extinct species. Scientists are hoping to bring extinct animals back to life. In a first step toward resurrecting the mammoth researchers from Russia and South Korea are working to bring back another extinct animal the Lena.
The overall consensus was that it would be possible and a US start-up called CyberUni agreed to fund the project. Scientists collected DNA and skin samples of the goat shortly before its death. Bringing extinct animals back to life is known as de-extinction.
They are also trying to conserve DNA of certain animals so that they can be resurrected. Many scientists from across the globe have been trying to perfect the morally ambiguous act of cloning andor genetic engineering for certain extinct animals. Recently scientists successfully cloned the species.
