Abstract in brief

  • Researchers successfully cloned the bucardo, an extinct wild goat subspecies, by using preserved skin cells from its last living individual.
  • The cloning involved using enucleated oocytes from domestic goats fused with bucardo fibroblasts, followed by embryo culture and transfer into surrogate goats, resulting in the birth of a healthy female clone.
  • This notable achievement marks the first time an animal from an extinct subspecies has been resurrected through cloning, although the clone died shortly after birth due to physical lung defects.]

@Riamus01 @kret_spec If we can protect living things, how can we guarantee we can bring back the extinct species back and make sure the second extinction will not happen again? https://t.co/xFWnmBmf5i

Are there any other animals beyond humans that give CPR? Are they more likely to give CPR to friends vs new individuals? What if I told you all this and more is covered in our latest #YouTube short?? #scicomm #science #sciants https://t.co/Gw3x9TeBxW

However these techniques are highly inefficient, and many attempts at species revival fail due to defects and abnormalities. Previous attempts to revive an extinct wild goat failed due to a lung abnormality in the offspring [3]. 12/13 #bucardo #cloning https://t.co/gjjJVgdNuz
