A draft whole genome sequencing of the thylacine was produced by Feigin et al. (2017) using the DNA extracted from an ethanol-preserved pouch of a young specimen provided by Museums Victoria. The neonatal development of the thylacine was also reconstructed from preserved pouch young specimens from several museum collections. [ 147 ]
Colossal Biosciences in a Thursday press release said its reconstructed thylacine genome is about 99.9% complete, with 45 gaps that they'll work to close through additional sequencing in the ...
In December 2017, it was announced in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution that the full nuclear genome of the thylacine had been successfully sequenced, marking the completion of the critical first step toward de-extinction that began in 2008, with the extraction of the DNA samples from the preserved pouch specimen.

The company’s academic partners are planning to submit their work to journals, including the thylacine genome, in time, he added. Colossal has recruited respected high-profile scientists, and ...
In October 2024, the company announced that it had rebuilt a 99.9% accurate genome of the thylacine, using a “pickled” 110-year-old fossilized Tasmanian tiger skull. This marks “the most complete ancient genome of any species known to date” and provides a full DNA blueprint to potentially bring back the Tasmanian tiger.
Scientists at Colossal Biosciences may be a few steps closer to resurrecting a long-extinct carnivorous marsupial known as the Tasmanian tiger.
Thylacines in Washington D.C., c. 1906 The International Thylacine Specimen Database (ITSD) is the culmination of a four-year research project to catalogue and digitally photograph all known surviving specimen material of the thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) (or Tasmanian tiger) held within museum, university, and private collections.
