Scientists are going to resurrect the Tasmanian wolves using the genes of marsupial mice.

August 18, 2022

First, they will have to reconstruct the genome of the extinct thylacine, after which they will have to match it with the genome of the marsupial mouse. They are believed to be close relatives. Then, with the help of reproductive technologies, an embryo will be created from the edited cells. It will be placed in an artificial uterus or implanted into the body of a surrogate individual - the same fat-tailed mouse.
