hence
"Last year, the Korea Foundation and NEFU" Sooam "signed an agreement on cooperation in the framework of the project" Revival of a mammoth. " Do not rule out that the samples from the carcass of a mammoth found, brought to Yakutsk help resolve the issue of cloning, "- said Grigoriev.

In favorable circumstances, the first in the world Mammoth our day had to be born after 22 months. The implementation of this project had to be postponed after it became known that cloning was going to take the Korean scientist Hwang Suk Do, was sentenced to two years in prison for embezzlement.
