Just saw a film on TV that T-Rex bones were found which still contained few proteins like collagen. Then I read that this is very controversial, if that is not contamination.
Then I came across this...
http://canterburyheritage.blogspot.co.at/2009/01/extinct-moa-to-be-brought-back-to-life.html
The giant bird, Moa, is relatively new extict and there should be plenty of sources for DNA... Even eggs are said to be still there.
I assume there won't be any cells any more that are still alive...? Is it possible to purify the chromosomes, insert in a living cell? I assume that it would be near-to- impossible in a diy-setting, because the DNA will be damaged at least to some degree...
However, from the legal point of view, this should be perfectly legal (while inserting GFP into E.Coli is a capital crime)...
Any opinions on this?
