Russia has opened a laboratory in Siberia devoted to the study of extinct animal DNA in the hope of creating clones, it's reported.

The new lab in Yakutsk - often called the world's coldest city - will "seek out live cells with a view to cloning", says Semen Grigoryev, director of the Mammoth Museum at the city's Northeastern Federal University. He tells Ogonek magazine that "the priority is to look into bringing back the mammoth", adding that the Beijing Institute of Genomics and South Korea's Sooam Biotech company, which has pioneered dog cloning, will be involved in the study.

Maybe they’ll put a meatpacking plant next door.

Ultimate paleo diet.

I think this is a time man shouldn't play god and mammoth meat would be on the tough gammy side.

Also someone is smoking in an office, fire him now!!!!

For the record, I'm smoke free for six months. However I'm spending more on gum and lozenges than I did on tobacco.
