This frozen extinct frog cloning experiment has about all the ingredients you could wish for a certain kind of movie — except its just about a harmless frog. On the other hand, the techniques used to revive this extinct species are being developed to be applied on all kinds of reptiles.
Towards this goal, Australian scientists successfully reconstructed the complete genome of an extinct frog species that gave birth through its mouth by first reviving cells that were frozen for decades, and then fusing them together with an egg from another species of frog. By using their cloning technology to combine the unfrozen dead nucleus and the fresh egg, the species of Rheobatrachus silus (gastric-brooding frog) could be on its way to live once again.
