Scientists at Colossal Biosciences may be a few steps closer to resurrecting a long-extinct carnivorous marsupial known as the Tasmanian tiger.
Last year, scientists recovered and sequenced RNA from a 130-year-old Tasmanian tiger specimen preserved at room temperature in Sweden's Museum of Natural History. How the Tasmanian tiger died off
The last known thylacine (Tasmanian tiger), photographed at Hobart Zoo in 1933. An endling is the last known individual of a species or subspecies. Once the endling dies, the species becomes extinct. The word was coined in correspondence in the scientific journal Nature.
In October 2024, the company announced that it had rebuilt a 99.9% accurate genome of the thylacine, using a “pickled” 110-year-old fossilized Tasmanian tiger skull.
