In 1990 the late Michael Crichton gave the idea of reviving extinct species a slickly plausible and enormously entertaining workout in his novel Jurassic Park. At that time the longest genome that had ever been sequenced was that of a virus. The best part of 20 years on, hundreds of animal genome sequences have been published. This week, for the first time, the genome of something undoubtedly charismatic and definitively extinct joins the list: the mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius)1. If you want to bring a species back to life, the mammoth would be almost as dramatic as a dinosaur. And unlike Tyrannosaurus rex, the mammoth has close living relatives to lend a hand. It is a fair bet that a complete genome and closely related species would make it easier to pull a Crichton on a mammoth than on a dinosaur. But easier is far from easy. To put flesh on the bones of the draft sequence to go from a genome to a living, breathing beas |
