Animals Scientists Are Trying To Bring Back

The resulting organisms would have features of both modern organisms and extinct ones.

Animals scientists are trying to bring back. Recently scientists successfully cloned the species. In 2014 Shapiro taught a graduate class on de-extinction and asked each student to make a case for bringing one animal back from the dead. And the heath hen a stumpy avian wallflower that lived in the scrubby plains of New England.

They are discussing it with The Long Now Foundation at an all-day TEDx De-Extinction conference. While auroch DNA will still be part of the program its actually being analyzed to determine exactly how it is structured. What dangerous animals are scientists trying to bring back.

The result of their experiments would produce only partial de-extinction however. Instead of hacking the DNA of some old bones and bringing the auroch back in a lab scientists are resorting to some more familiar tactics to bring the extinct animal back. Scientists want to bring them back through selective breeding of cattle species that carry some aurochs DNA.

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. Attempts are being made by scientists all over the world to perfect the method of cloning. In their effort to change back the hand of time scientists are trying to back-breed the animal by mating selected breeds of older cattle that they are sure to have much of the DNA of the aurochs.

In a first step toward resurrecting the mammoth researchers from Russia and South Korea are working to bring back another extinct animal the Lena. Top 10 Animals Scientists Want to Bring Back From Extinction. 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.

A friend of mine recently tried to tell me that many years ago some scientist was able to bring dead animals and people back to life. Scientists collected DNA and skin samples of the goat shortly before its death. But the joy didnt last no longer than 7 minutes.
