Well, for some time now I've modeled my interest in paleontology. Latest
edition is a cloned Wooly Mammoth who has got loose from the laboratory.
On a serious note, the reason why mammoths are subject of interest in
the cloning world is that their DNA is sort of fresh frozen (albeit 35 to 50
thousand years old) thus making them more likely candidates for recreation
using Asian elephants as surrogate mothers.
Incidentally, 65,000, 000 year old DNA has been recovered from a Montana
T Rex specimen at UNC. This was previously thought to be impossible as
all protein should have theoretically degraded or otherwise mineralized.
Shattered like ancient china, that DNA cannot be cloned, but it did give
up data that it was from a pregnant female T Rex!!
Is cloning controversial? Let us just leave it at: yep. Other than that, paleontology is
almost as much fun as Tyco!
