De-extinction (also known as resurrection biology, or species revivalism) is the process of generating an organism that either resembles or is an extinct species. [1] There are several ways to carry out the process of de-extinction. Cloning is the most widely proposed method, although genome editing and selective breeding have also been considered.
Critics say de-extinction in its purest sense isn’t possible. Colossal Biosciences, which aims to revive extinct species, has raised an additional $200 million. ... But the process has been hit ...
Colossal Biosciences, a U.S.-based biotechnology company, plans to use the process of de-extinction to bring the ivory-billed woodpecker back, the company announced on Tuesday. The research is one ...
Necrofauna are species that were previously extinct and have been biologically revived or recreated by the process of de-extinction. Necrofauna are proxies or imitations of their former species and not identical replicas. Due to a number of technological, biological and environmental factors, [1] they are considered a new type organism altogether.
De-extinction – the process of creating an organism, which is a member of or resembles an extinct species, or a breeding population of such organisms. Cloning is the most widely proposed method, although selective breeding has also been proposed.
It's been decades since Australia's thylacine, known as the Tasmanian tiger, was declared extinct and scientists say they've made a breakthrough as they research ways to bring back the carnivore.
The cell would then be stimulated into dividing, and implanted in a female elephant. The resulting calf would have the genes of the woolly mammoth. However, nobody as of date has found a viable mammoth cell to begin the cloning process, and most scientists doubt that any living cell could have survived freezing in the tundra of the Arctic.
The 'de-extinction' company Colossal and the conservation group Re:wild found common ground in the potential of genetic technology to rescue today's disappearing creatures.
