The CIA Is Funding The Sophie Mammoth Resurrection Project

The Central Intelligence Agency (a company) from the United States officially in a project Resurrection extinct pets The formidable biological sciences.

Through a venture capital firm called NQ TelThe government agency will fund a task that is becoming increasingly attractive: restore species like woolly mammoth and the Tasmanian Tiger.

Resurrection

NQ Tel It’s not a new company, but it has been around for more than 20 years, dedicated to financing technologies that “enhance the national security” of the United States, according to its website.

Only recently has the company added to its portfolio of investments tremendous biological sciences, A company that rose to fame to reveal its intentions to revive woolly mammoth and Tasmanian tigers.

The company’s goal is to revive extinct creatures in order to “support local economies and help reverse the effects of climate change through the net positive impact of offsetting carbon.” In the case of mammoths, they were grazing animals that preserve the grasslands of the northern parts of our planet and freeze the ground below by trampling on grass, cutting trees and packing snow.

Is it possible?

Science has advanced to the point that DNA extracted from the bones and carcasses of extinct animals can now be sequenced. The condition of the mammoth is special because many of its specimens have been kept in an ideal state of preservation due to the fact that they have been frozen in icy areas for thousands of years.

However, Project Colossal involves crossbreeding extinct animals with their closest relatives through genetic engineering.

For example, for Tasmanian TigerScientists hope to map the animal’s complete genome and compare it to its closest living relative, a carnivorous mouse-sized marsupial.

After identifying the differences between the two maps, the researchers will edit Donart’s DNA in every location where he differs from the Tasmanian tiger.
