Ancient mammoth resurrection by cloning

Scientists from Kinki University (Japan) announced that this year will start the mammoth resurrection program.

The main content of the program is to use frozen cells to revive extinct mammoths about 10,000 years ago through cloning technology.

Scientists will perform somatic cell transplants into common elephant eggs that have been removed from the cell nucleus to feed cloned embryos that carry mammoth genes.

Then scientists will implant a cloned embryo into the womb of the African mother elephant and will eventually produce mammoths.

Professor Gu Ming of Kinki University said the technology for extracting cell nuclei from frozen cells is ripe. Raw materials that ensure the formation of mammoth organs have also been ensured. The feasibility of implementation is complete.

If all goes well, in the next 5 to 6 years we can welcome the birth of the first cloned mammoth.
