Resurrect Extinct Animals

Bringing animals back from the dead isn't always as amazing as it sounds, as the Jurassic Park franchise demonstrates, but it has its purposes. If it is possible, the theory might allow us to study – and possibly even repopulate the earth with – long-extinct animals, and it could also pave the way for further research into the higher arts of human resurrection.

Many teams are working on it, but none have been successful in resurrecting a dead species. The availability of the whole genome of the stated species, which is essential for any type of CRISPR editing, is a huge issue. George Church, an American geneticist, is certain that his team will be able to resuscitate the woolly mammoth by 2027 since they are now discovering all of the features that distinguish mammoth species from elephants, which will then be utilized to recreate it on the DNA level. Scientists have so far mapped the genomes of approximately 20 ancient species, including a cave bear and a passenger pigeon. However, no one has succeeded successfully recreating an extinct genome in a living relative.
