MELBOURNE, March 15 ― Australian scientists recently received funding for an important project: reviving the Tasmanian tiger, an animal species officially considered extinct since 1982. And this is not the first such experiment being carried out around the world.
Although this species disappeared from most of the world more than 200 years ago, it managed to survive until 1936 in the island state of Australia. This is why scientists from the University of Melbourne are putting their hopes on this specific species. Funding for this project will be used to further the understanding of the thylacine genome, develop techniques to use marsupial stem cells to conceive an embryo, and then transfer the embryo into a host womb, such as a marsupial mouse or Tasmanian devil. The technique is complex and uncertain, and it will probably take a decade before the researchers achieve their goals.But this is not the only project underway to bring a long-extinct animal species back to life.
