Clone Mammoth
Scientists from Russia and five other countries during an expedition in the Arctic Circle have found mammoth cells, of which is said to be cloned prehistoric animals. Now willing to risk a South Korean professor with a scandalous reputation. He had cloned a cat, a cow, a dog, and I am sure now that the experiment with the mammoth and his ability.
As the leader of the expedition, the director of the Museum of mammoth NEFU Semyon Grigoriev, scientists in a unique location at a depth of about 100 meters was able to find a wealth of material for research: soft and fat tissue, hair and bone marrow mamonta.
Each item in the freezer Mammoth Museum - a unique material for research. Pound prehistoric bison head with hair and soft tissues - the only surviving in the world. But the real sensation - the bone of a mammoth, found in August. Despite the fact that the fragment has lain in the frozen ground, tens of thousands of years, has preserved intact cells in the bone mozga.
Scientists are interested in finding immediately, because the living cells of the bone marrow may be a source of the DNA molecule of a mammoth, and it is already half-way to the cloning prehistoric zhivotnogo.
Priceless discovery found in a remote area of polar Yakutia. Here in the Delta Jan annually hosts international paleontological expedition. Working together specialists from Russia, Korea, USA, Canada, Sweden, England. This time, scientists have penetrated the underground ice gallery. At a depth of five meters, they found the real, by the standards of paleontology, klad.
In the coming days will give a fragment of a unique discovery to explore in Korean research center. In parallel, studies will be carried out in the North-Eastern Federal University. In Yakutia, the scholars have the richest collection of mammoth remains in the world. Paleontological expedition this year has added a wealth of material for research.
Additional laboratory experiments with bone marrow mammoth will continue until the end of the year. Then we will know whether cloned animals. But there are any valuable conclusions, say scientists, new data will help to reconstruct the evolution of the world.
