Dino-DNA!

Dead for 32,000 Years, an Arctic Plant Is Revived

This is what everyone is talking about in the paleontology community these days. This research group, found "viable" seeds of an ancient plant in permaforst, and while they failed to germinate in "seed" form, cells from the seeds were successfully grown in-vitro, given rise to over 90 plant clones. Very cool indeed, I hope they sell the plants (at exorbitant prices, probably only the five richest kings of Europe will own them...).

I think it's pretty cool and all, but, I will not be truly impressed until they bring back the dinosaurs. THE DINOSAURS! But unlike what Jurassic Park predicted, dino-DNA does not preserve. Sigh. I guess we will have to settle with robot-dinosaurs.

Oh, hey. This post was actually about science...
