Mammoth DNA

A scientific team led by Stephan C. Schuster and Webb Miller out of Penn State University announced that they have discovered a large fraction of the Woolly Mammoth 's genome. The scientists believe that with an additional $2 million they will be ...
Last week, announcements by rival teams upstaged two current projects by Pennsylvania State University genomicist Stephan Schuster. On 15 September, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the chocolate giant Mars Inc. announced that they had sequenced the cacao tree, whose seeds ...
"The interest of Archbishop Tutu in participating in this project is that he wants to see a medical benefit extended to the southern African population," says Stephan C. Schuster of The Pennsylvania State University, one of the leaders of the sequencing project ...

Sequencing the extinct

Researchers have sequenced the mitochondrial genome of the extinct Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, using museum-preserved tissue samples collected from some of the last remaining individuals. Pennsylvania State University geneticist Stephan Schuster led the study, and said that modern sequencing techniques enabled the ...

Hair of Tasmanian tiger yields genes of extinct species

All the genes that the exotic Tasmanian Tiger inherited only from its mother will be revealed by an international team of scientists in a research paper to be published on 13 January 2009 in the online edition of Genome Research. The team ...

Should we clone a Neanderchimp?

One author, genomicist Stephan Schuster, estimates that it would cost $10 million to bring mammoths back by modifying elephant DNA to resemble that of mammoths, throw the hybrid genome into an elephant who would bring the beast to term. "This is something ...
Live woolly mammoths could be returned to the Earth for around $10 million dollars, according to scientists working on DNA-sequencing.. Once the DNA is decoded in modern sequencing machines biologists could alter DNA in a suitable living animal - for example an elephant ...
Scientists map woolly mammoth's DNA, bringing 'Jurassic Park' step closer to realityBringing " " asked Stephan Schuster, a Penn State University biochemist and co-author of the new research. But using genetics to engineer a mammoth makes more sense, Schuster said.Anthropology professor Hendrik ...
Researchers who bought mammoth hair on eBay have decoded 70% of the creature's genome, marking the first time the nearly complete genome of an extinct animal has been sequenced. In 2005, Pennsylvania State University, State College, genomicist Stephan Schuster and colleagues ...
