The Future of Thiolacines

Thiolacines share about 95% of their DNA with numbats, which would make the numbat genome a framework that you could then stitch thiolacine DNA into in order to reproduce the animal. The University of Melbourne announced they had partnered with a Texas based company Colossal Biosciences to actually pull the trigger and de-extinct the thiolACine. They think it will only take a few years until we have a thiolacined or at least something that really closely resembles one genetically.
