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?
