Declared extinct decades ago, the Tasmanian tiger - or thylacine - still sparks rumors, sightings, and debates. In this video ...
Scientists have successfully mapped the genome of the Tasmanian tiger, an extinct marsupial native to Australia that was last seen in its natural habitat in 1936.
Lost remains of last Tasmanian tiger found in museum cupboard after 85 years The discovery of an unpublished museum taxidermist’s report dated 1936/37 mentioned a thylacine among the list of ...
The last Tasmanian tiger died in captivity in 1936. Nearly 100 years later, scientists believe they are on the edge of reviving the species.
A Dallas-based biotech company has nearly completed its reconstruction of the Tasmanian tiger just two years into its de-extinction project. The last known thylacine, commonly referred to as the Ta… ...
Tasmanian tiger moves closer to de-extinction as scientists assemble near-complete genome Colossal Biosciences announced two breakthroughs last week that move it a couple steps closer to ...
Colossal Biosciences says it's made a breakthrough toward the de-extinction of the thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger.
Colossal Biosciences says it's made a breakthrough toward the de-extinction of the thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger.
Breakthroughs sometimes turn up in unexpected places. The researchers working on the international push to bring back the thylacine say they found theirs in a bucket in the back of a cupboard at a ...
The 110-year-old Tasmanian tiger head however was skinned and preserved in ethanol - enabling researchers to piece together most of its DNA sequence and strands of RNA.
Scientists claim to have made progress towards "de-extinction" and estimate their DNA sequence for the thylacine - or Tasmanian tiger - is 99.9% accurate.
