I think they just need DNA and DNA can last a long long time. Many Mammoths are nearly flash frozen in time with food still in their gut, so it seems very possible but not likely.

DNA begins to break down fairly rapidly, even when frozen. There have been lots of frozen mammoths found, but none have intact DNA samples that are useable............
