Regarding the extinct species, namely the Tasmanian tiger, Daniela Kalthoff, in charge of the mammal collection at the natural history museum, raises the possibility, now, of new research on “exciting idea” of a resurrection of the animal.

More broadly, researchers even imagine the possibility of extending RNA recovery to other collections in other museums around the world.
