Scientists Closer to Cloning T-Rex (+Video)
It’s important to consider that trying to find DNA in fossils that old has only been attepmted by a few people.
Most paleontologists are afraid to even crack open bones, let alone subject them to these kinds of tests.
Scientists challenging Mother Nature, without apparent concern for the fact that Nature always wins.
Scientists Closer to Cloning T-Rex
Scientists are one step closer to cloning dinosaurs after the discovering the remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex that was pregnant when it died.
While dinosaur bones do contain some DNA, the bone known as the medullary bone that grows in female dinosaurs during pregnancy will contain a lot more DNA.
Lindsay Zanno, assistant research professor of biological sciences at North Carolina State University, said that it “is possible” that the dinosaur and its egg contains the necessary DNA – which is the building blocks for life – to take scientists a step closer to reintroducing dinosaurs to the world.
