Is it possible to clone extinct species using the same or similar technologies that created Dolly the sheep in the 1990s? What are the chances that the science fiction of \u201cJurassic Park\u201d will someday become science fact? In this lecture, Beth Shapiro, ancient DNA scientist and author of \u201cHow to Clone a Mammoth,\u201d will discuss the real science behind the emerging idea known as \u201cde-extinction.\u201d From deciding which species should be restored, to sequencing and editing their genomes, to anticipating how revived populations might be overseen in the wild, she will walk through the process of resurrecting extinct species, considering the technical, ethical and ecological challenges of de-extinction as well as its potential benefits. While she argues that it may never be possible to bring back an identical copy of a species that has gone extinct, de-extinction technology is likely to provide a new solutions to revitalize and stabilize contemporary ecosystems, with benefits to the preservation of existing biodiversity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: center\">Beth Shapiro<br \/> How to Clone a Mammoth<br \/> Wednesday, November 30, 7:30 PM<br \/> Atherton Union, Reilly Room<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">BCR Credit and Co-Curricular Event<\/p>\n<p>Could extinct species, like mammoths and passenger pigeons, be brought back to life?
