Aka "resurrection biology"? Is that a common term? It's used by the Guardian. Malick78 (talk) 18:07, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Nothing about de-extinction of plants?

edit

I'm surprised there is no mention of plants in this article. It might be easier than with animals and could be useful for pharmacology. Aren't there any scientist working on that at all?--Grondilu (talk) 09:21, 31 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Although this is a late response on my part, I second this line of questioning being addressed. Specifically, the Judean date palm is mentioned as having been formerly extinct, but a specimen of this plant is currently alive in Israel. Shouldn't this at least be discussed in the article, if for no other reason as to discuss why it doesn't specifically warrant inclusion as a de-extincted species? ihatefile007 (talk) 22:02, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Bringing back other animals

edit

They can bring back the Great auk, Labrador duck and a few other animals.

Cloning

edit

The second sentence of the first paragraph in this section seems to indicate that woolly mammoth as well as the passenger pigeon would have the Band-tailed pigeons as surrogate parents.

Under 'Opposition', I added a paragraph of a benefit to de-extinction. Let me know if this helps!--Maddieaalund (talk) 02:53, 22 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on De-extinction. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Needing more detail of practices

edit

I have not edited this article, yet I do believe some additions should be made. When stating the practices of cloning and CRISPR/Cas9, a deeper explanation should be provided. Adding more graphics could help this as well. The woolly mammoth section should either be condensed or more citations should be added. A few other minor additions can be added to support the science behind the de-extinction process. Also, this article can include more species this could benefit and how the de-extinction process can benefit Evolutionary Biology research.

Iterative evolution

Please update with: "Probing the genomic limits of de-extinction in the Christmas Island rat"

edit

Could you please update this article with some brief on this study (maybe a few words could also be added to Revival of the woolly mammoth or Woolly mammoth#Revival of the species)? It's currently featured in 2022 in science like so:

Scientists demonstrate limits and the scale of challenge of genetic-editing-based de-extinction, suggesting resources spent on more comprehensive de-extinction such as of the woolly mammoth may currently not be well allocated and substantially limited.[1][2]

The info in section "#Maclear's Rat" is missing a reference to the study and key findings from the study in relation to de-extinction of that rat.

Moreover, the main results from the study seem to be relevant to de-extinction in general so another section could have very brief info on the limits they found. From the study (this is also highlighted in the news reports):

Our analyses show that even when the extremely high-quality Norway brown rat (R. norvegicus) is used as a reference, nearly 5% of the genome sequence is unrecoverable, with 1,661 genes recovered at lower than 90% completeness, and 26 completely absent. Furthermore, we find the distribution of regions affected is not random, but for example, if 90% completeness is used as the cutoff, genes related to immune response and olfaction are excessively affected.

[...]

a reconstructed Christmas Island rat would lack attributes likely critical to surviving in its natural or natural-like environment.

Any updates regarding the Passenger Pigeon revival?

edit

It is close to the end of 2024, and to my knowledge, there have been no significant updates regarding this project since 2018. The linked source on the Passenger Pigeon section leads to a dead page and redirects to the home page of Revive & Restore. I understand that this is a long process, but I think that we should find a new source regarding a time window or remove this outdated source.

That's a very good point, thanks. Can you ping me later next week so I can have a look at it? :) cyclopiaspeak! 06:39, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
[https://reviverestore.org/projects/the-great-passenger-pigeon-comeback/progress-to-date This could be used as a new source regarding the project by Revive & Restore. The last update was in 2019 with no new information regarding a completion window. Late 2024 to early 2025 is still the estimated window. I also found information regarding a Heath Hen revival that has been in the works since 2014 on their website, but there is no estimated completion window like the Passenger Pigeon project. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I decided to update the page with a new source for the passenger pigeon section leading to the progress to date page of The Great Passenger Pigeon Comeback and I added heath hen to the current candidates list due to ongoing efforts and progress by Revive & Restore. I also changed the 2024 passenger pigeon date to 2025. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 05:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Maniraptoras?

edit

Jack Horner, the writer of the book How to Build a Dinosaur has been pursuing a project for the past 10 years to revive a species of Maniraptora through gene editing of domesticated chickens. However, there have not been any updates to this project since 2015 to my knowledge, can they be listed here as current or future potential candidates due to this project? Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 22:39, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nearly two months later, Chickenosaurus does not count as a de-extinction in my eyes. Since it is not an officially recognised or previously extant species unlike all of the other Holocene and Pleistocene critically endangered or extinct species on this page. Horner even stated in an interview that it will still be a chicken. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 15:50, 18 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
