Scientists are determined to bring back an extinct species of frog from the dead, using a living species to help! But will their cloning plans pull through?
The gastric-brooding frogs or platypus frogs is a genus of extinct ground-dwelling frogs native to Queensland in eastern Australia. The genus consisted of only two species, both of which became extinct in the mid-1980s
The Lazarus project, run by the University of Newcastle, Australia, revived the genomes of an extinct Australian frog using sophisticated cloning technology to implant a “dead” cell nucleus into a fresh egg from another frog species
