Cloning the Extinct - We've only scratched the surface of the secrets hidden in the coils of DNA, but little by little, scientists are teasing out its inner workings. This episode of Today's Green Minute deals with the work of a scientist who has been able to clone mice that have been frozen for a long time. Previously, once a cell was frozen, its DNA was unreadable, but this guy has changed all that. The implications are staggering! For example, soon frozen wooly mammoth or other ancient cells may enable us to retrieve species that we thought were previously lost forever to extinction!
