Scientists will bring back the extinct Tasmanian Tiger !

Scientists started a multi-million-dollar project to bring the Tasmanian Tiger, which became extinct in the 1930s, to the world through gene editing. What will scientists do to get back the extinct Tasmanian Tiger ? 

They will try to turn Tasmanian Tiger stem cells into stem cells with gene editing technology

So how will they do this ? Gene editing technology is called genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted, modified, or replaced in the genome of a living organism.

Scientists will first take stem cells from a species with similar DNA and try to turn them into Tasmanian Tiger stem cells using gene-editing technology. Scientists who produce an embryo from these cells will try to bring the Tasmanian Tiger back through another animal, a carrier.

We can witness important moments of science at every step. 

Scientists are working on a project that cost millions of dollars to bring the Tasmanian Tiger, which became extinct in the 1930s, to the world through gene editing.

The University of Melbourne is setting up a gene-editing lab thanks to a $5 million donation.

The project started by scientists from Australia and the USA, it is planned to recreate the extinct Tasmanian Tiger within 10 years with stem cell and gene editing technology.

Why did the Tasmanian Tiger go extinct ?

The Tasmanian Tiger population began to decline as humans arrived in Australia. The last Tasmanian tiger died in a zoo in 1936. 

If the project materializes, for the first time in history, a species will be saved after extinction. On the other hand, other experts say that such an event can only happen in science fiction movies.
