In short:

The team behind an attempt to ‘de-extinct’ the Tasmanian tiger says it has made a series of significant advancements, including producing a reconstructed thylacine genome that is 99.9 per cent accurate.

What’s next?

The project’s lead scientist says there will be peer-reviewed papers published early next year.
