![]() ![]() If the project is successful, we will have the skies soaring with their regained population. The Government of Canada has invested in the genomic technology that advances the research with resurrection of Passenger Pigeon (Novak, 2018). In order to return them, to their habitat, for example, Woolly Mammoths to Tundra Habitat, which is claimed to have a broader impact on climate change (Loi et al., 2014), we need to make sure that they survive. ![]() Passenger Pigeon and Woolly Mammoths are the two most fascinating projects that were considered by the scientists. But what about behaviour? To know more on this, let us first look into how and what exactly science has managed and planned to do so far. In 2016, IUCN provided a framework for researchers and stakeholders, which says the term de-extinction can be misleading but it rather emphasises on the greater possibilities of resurrecting the extinct animals as per their genetic and physiological background. So, let us dive into the world of dinosaurs, and mammoths explore childhood fantasies today and know how genomics has created doors for achieving heights of fascinations as well as ruin us if gone wrong. ![]() The idea is to reconstruct their last remaining genetic information, or to create genetic information from scratch of fossils and in-vitro it into a species which is evolutionarily the most similar to them. TEDxDeExinction event in 2013 was the first event that was carried out by National Geographic, which enlightened the world with this fascinating idea of bringing back extinct species, and it was known as De-Extinction or Resurrection Biology. Capability to create new species(Nishijima and Iijima, 2013) (Houdebine, 2009) is an asset to genomics now, as humans have been modifying the earth in a new way using genetic engineering to create milestones in scientific revolution. Childhood science fiction is a reality now. Genomics in the 21 st Century has gone through an evolution, where we can do the undoable. The voices that went silent forever, could be heard again. ![]()
