What Animals Are Scientists Trying To Bring Back

On Friday at a National Geographic-sponsored TEDx conference scientists met in Washington DC.

What animals are scientists trying to bring back. This article lists 10 extinct animals that scientists can and should bring back from the dead. The aurochs is an ancestor of domestic cattle that lived throughout Europe Asia and North Africa. To this end European teams have been selectively breeding cattle since 2009.

TitleFrozen carcasses of the Woolly Mammoth means that scientists have access to well-preserved DNA from these prehistoric giant animals related to elephants. In a first step toward resurrecting the mammoth researchers from Russia and South Korea are working to bring back another extinct animal the Lena. Today scientists have developed several new techniques where they can successfully use methods such as cloning DNA splicing etc to essentially resurrect these animals from the grave.

Why scientists would want to bring this animal back to life is the real question. To discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction. Genetic engineering depends on existing DNA samples of the extinct species.

Heptner and Sludskiy 1972 Auroch. Below is a list of ten animals that the scientists are attempting to bring back to life from their conserved DNA in fossilized remains. 7 Animals That Scientists Want To Bring Back From Extinction.

Meet the Scientists Bringing Extinct Species Back From the Dead New gene-editing technology could revive everything from the passenger pigeon. Not content to speculate on possibilities a group of geneticists met in New Zealand in 1999 to figure out whether it would be feasible to clone a huia and bring the species back for good. By selectively breeding existing cattle that closely resemble the auroch genetically scientists hope to achieve an animal that closely matches Europes original wild auroch.

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 want to bring them back through selective breeding of cattle species that carry some aurochs DNA. In America scientists are working on bringing back the passenger pigeon a rosy-breasted bullet of a bird that once flocked in the billions.
