Genome Breakthrough Brings Scientists One Step Closer to Reviving Extinct Thylacine - The Debrief

The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, was a marsupial resembling a canine believed to have gone extinct in 1935 due to human overhunting.

Colossal Biosciences , a company involved in creating de-extinction technologies, says it has nearly completed reconstructing the genome.

The company's progress marks the first time an extinct species genome has ever been recovered, a task once considered impossible.

Colossal ’s advancements for improving Assisted Reproductive Technologies in marsupials can be applied across the family tree.

“These technologies will, for example, improve the breeding capacity of critically endangered species in captive populations such as the closely related Tasmanian devils being bred to help fight against their extinction from the devil facial tumor disease.
