It’s the dream of kids all around the world to see giant beasts walk the Earth again. Could - and should - that dream be realized? Hendrik Poinar gives an informative talk on the next - really - big thing: The quest to engineer a creature that looks very much like our furry friend, the woolly mammoth. The first step, to sequence the woolly genome, is nearly complete. And it’s huge.
Hendrik Poinar is a geneticist and biological anthropologist who focuses on extracting ancient DNA. He currently has his sights set on sequencing the genome of the woolly mammoth - and cloning it.
