London, November 4 : Japanese researchers have successfully cloned healthy mice from cells derived from dead mice, which had been frozen for 16 years.
Teruhiko Wakayama, of the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, says that the breakthrough has raised the possibility of cloning endangered species from old carcasses.
He says that this advancement even indicates that researchers may someday be able to resurrect extinct animals frozen in permafrost, such as the woolly mammoth.
"It would be very difficult, but our work suggests that it is no longer science fiction," New Scientist magazine quoted him as saying.
