(Not a rogue article) Message-ID: <514@cornell.UUCP> Date: Wed, 20-Jun-84 17:28:52 EDT Article-I.D.: cornell.514 Posted: Wed Jun 20 17:28:52 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 21-Jun-84 07:59:24 EDT Sender: jts@cornell.UUCP Organization: Cornell Univ. CS Dept. Lines: 9 From: jts (Jim Sasaki) This hasn't anything to do with rogue except in that it's about quaggas, which in real life were South African zebra-like animals that became extinct about a hundred years ago. The June 9 Science News reported that a fellow at UC Berkeley, Allan Wilson, has extracted quagga DNA from a salt-preserved quagga pelt. He's nowhere near cloning real quaggas, but he as been able to get as much as ten percent of a couple of quagga genes. He's also been working on a frozen mammoth found in Russia. Bizarre, no?
