Colossal claims to have reconstructed the thylacine genome with 99.9% accuracy, marking a world-first for an extinct species and aiming to revive them.
Through animated videos, Colossal aims to address skepticism surrounding their project to de-extinct the thylacine, drawing parallels to themes from Jurassic Park.
Colossal plans to create genetically similar thylacines using DNA from the fat-tailed dunnart, with the hope that young thylacines can be birthed by surrogates.
CEO Ben Lamm emphasized that their genome reconstruction is a major advancement toward de-extinction, highlighting significant implications for Tasmania and global biodiversity.
