The complete mitochondrial DNA of an extinct animal has been sequenced before but only for the flightless bird, the moa, which died out about 500 years ago.

This is, and mammoths are and always will be, cool.

Let's clone them ala "The Lost World".

Only 5000 base-pairs to make a mitochondria? Wow.

[Termite_Commander]

I want a pet mammoth!!

People somewhere are starving so funds can go toward decoding the dna of an extinct elephant.

[tubebender]

Did they compare it to the DNA of Jerry Nadler for proof...

Quaternary Park! Smildon too please!

[msnimje]

Extinct or just stinks?

[RandallFlagg]

Someone ping me with some good mammoth barbeque recipes when they get a few herds of the beasts.

And mammoths have more in common with Ted Kennedy than they do with Asian elephants.

[Turbopilot]

Just the mitochondrial DNA? Come on...crank out a new copy of the nuclear DNA. And then let's build us some mammoths! :-D

[COBOL2Java]

This guy remembers seeing a mammoth somewhere...

[SunkenCiv]

mtDNA? boring. :')

Decoding of Mammoth Genome Might Lead to Resurrection
