In a momentous scientific leap, researchers have
successfully sequenced RNA from an extinct
Tasmanian tiger specimen that is over a century
old. This achievement marks a significant
milestone in the field of genetics and
paleogenomics.
For the first time, transcriptomes — essentially
the complete sets of RNA transcripts from an
organism — have been reconstructed for an extinct
species, providing unprecedented insights into the
biology of the Tasmanian tiger.
