Tasmanian tiger DNA comes alive in mouse

A University of Melbourne team has extracted genes from a tasmanian tiger and put them into a mouse embryo, reviving hopes that the extinct thylacine may one day be successfully cloned.

Professor Marilyn Renfree, who was also involved in the research, said the discovery was critical.
"For those species that have already become extinct, our method shows that access to their genetic biodiversity may not be completely lost," she said.
However she said cloning a tasmanian tiger was still a long way off.

The last tasmanian tiger died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.

Extinction is a normal occurrence but still good on them .
