Mammoth Blood Brought Back to Life with Ancient DNA

Now I can understand how she opens her mouth that wide

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

f scientist continue to mess with God’s design, God will make another decision to reveal who is boss.

Why would He do that? Either God gave man free-will or God is a dictator. Can't have it both ways.

If God is a dictator who wants man to obey His will, then why does He allow man to kill other men?

[decimon]

Thereby proving creation to the creationists and evolution to the evolutionists....

...hematology to the hematologists...

[patton]

Interesting indeed.

Do you think that the Russian peasents that found the occasional frozen wooly mammoth ever made a fur coat out of one?

What would that be worth?

[null and void]

Bingo!

[IYAS9YAS]

So that's what happened to Snuffleapugus Sniffleap Shuffleupedgus Big Bird's friend...

[LRS]

It’s bad enough the fools have repopulated the black bear and wolf. Having to watch out for cave bears and saber tooths, or sitting down a tv show with one eye opened for a mad mammoth is just insane. “Honey, hand me the magnum, I’m going to check the Giant Moa coup...”

After reading on the dna extraction processes my first question is how can they be so confident that pristine dna as it exists in the cell is the result they are working with.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

One day we might even see these creatures walk the Earth again. Of course proving creationism and evolution at the same time.

How cool would that be - and not because of the endless ID/evolution bickering. A living, breathing mammoth would be right up there with the moon landing in terms of humanity's most spectacular technological achievements.

[valkyry1]

I totally agree with that.

[Scythian]

Let’s clone millions of them, make them meaner than he@# and put them all along the southern border ... Sure, T-Rex’s would be better but that will come with time.

[Scythian]

E. coli is used in almost all GMO pharming techniques, it’s used to carry it’s payload (usually genes) into the cell nucleus itself.

[CodeToad]

Totally agree! Imagine just having DNA being enough to bring back extinct life. wow.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I know that Scyth! I was making a, rather poor I guess, joke! I run a water company/public utility, and am quite aware of E. Coli. Test for it every month.

• Mammoth Achievement: Researchers at the forefront of molecular biology

[patton]

That is entirely scary.

[DoughtyOne]

To PETA or the normal world? ;-)

I guess there might be a lot of DNA in that hair, but would that still be viable? The skin shouldn’t be should it?

[patton]

I honestly don’t know. But it is mammoth food for thought.
