Resurrection Biology

De-Extinction (Mammoth, Dodo, Thylacine)

3 companies · 1 sourced backers · 16 milestones on record

// What this frontier is about

Resurrection biology uses biotechnology to pursue de-extinction, including animals with key traits of mammoths, dodos and thylacines. Companies also aim to make sequencing, biobanking, cloning and gene editing practical conservation tools, helping preserve genetic diversity, support threatened species and prevent current extinctions.
