Didn’t think this was possible, but this is a major break through in DNA Gnome sequencing technology.

Jurassic Park comes to mind.
I actually read the novel by Michael Crichton a few years before the first movie was made, and I thought then it would be an interesting movie if there was a technology to recreate the dinosaurs on the screen.
I think they should bring back the Tasmanian Tiger, something that ignorance of man destroyed.
No need. I met a few Australians who say the Tasmanian tigers are alive and kicking.
One guy was a hitchhiker from Victoria (in the south) and he’s from a small place. He and his neighbors know where a family of them (a female and kittens, I guess) are living, but these good folks want to keep the whereabouts secret.
Another witness is from Queensland and she swears it was a tiger because dogs don’t have stripes and jump on a fence and walk on it.
