Australia 's thylacine, known as the Tasmanian tiger, was declared extinct in 1936 .

Colossal Biosciences says its reconstructed genome is 99.9% complete, with 45 gaps.

The company isolated long RNA molecules from a 110-year-old preserved head, which was skinned and kept in ethanol.

The preservation of a complete head meant that scientists could study RNA samples.
