Norwegian scientists have succeeded for the first time in recovering ribonucleic acid (RNA) from an extinct species, the Tasmanian tiger. The last known animal of this species died in captivity in 1936 in Tasmania (southern Australia). Scientists have successfully sequenced RNA from a 130-year-old Tasmanian tiger specimen held by the Swedish Museum of Natural History. The ability to recover RNA from extinct species represents a first step towards the resurrection of extinct species.
