JURASSIC PARK REDUX:...Mammoth Might Walk the Earth as Scientists Think They Can Figure Out Gene Map of Wooly Mammoth

May Decipher Complete Map of the Genes of a Mammoth..Might Be Able to Produce Live Mammoth Some Say

"Mapping the DNA of a woolly mammoth means a Jurassic Park-like resurrection of an extinct species could theoretically happen, say a group of Canadian and American researchers."

Using well-preserved remains of a mammoth jaw, and high powered gene sequencing technology they expect to have the complete sequence soon....."Using a sequencing machine at Penn State University, the researchers should have a complete genome of the Ice Age mammal in about a year, a first for an extinct mammal." "Dr Stephan Schuster, of Pennsylvania State University, one member of the team that announced the new work in the journal Science, See Metagenomics to Paleogenomics: Large-Scale Sequencing of Mammoth DNA, said that it may be possible to genetically alter an elephant to turn it into a mammoth."
