Cloning A Mouse Frozen For 16 Years!
Oh, the Japanese! From the people who brought you beer and ramen vending machines at the top of Mt. Fuji and panoramic camera hats, comes this… cloning a mouse that had been cryogenically frozen for 16 years.
Here’s a quote from the original article: “‘It has been suggested that the ‘resurrection’ of frozen extinct species, such as the woolly mammoth, is impracticable, as no live cells are available, and the genomic material that remains is inevitably degraded,’ wrote the authors in the Monday edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.”
What do you think? Is Jurassic Park just around the corner?
