Japanese researchers will launch a project this year to resurrect the long-extinct mammoth by using cloning technology to bring the ancient pachyderm back to life in around five years time.
The researchers will try to revive the species by obtaining tissue this summer from the carcass of a mammoth preserved in a Russian research laboratory, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported.
"Preparations to realise this goal have been made," Akira Iritani, leader of the team and a professor emeritus of Kyoto University, told the mass-circulation daily.
Under the plan, the nuclei of mammoth cells will be inserted into an elephant's egg cell from which the nuclei have been removed, to create an embryo containing mammoth genes, the report said.

What could possibly go wrong?
When they move on to dinosaurs I want credit for calling the Godzilla attack.....
I don't understand why people want to fuck with things that couldn't survive the first time. It's not like they will be able to talk and tell them what happened the first time.
If they can clone shit like this, why are they not cloning the cells that fight cancer?
I don't know, I really don't care what they do, but no good will come of this, I'm sure.

They could sell blimp tickets and float slowly over them as they consume Japan. Watch all the little people run away screaming.....
My only question is; are mammoth delicious, and would they be an efficient food animal to raise?

I'm leaning on the side of "probably not" mainly because elephants seem to be neither especially tasty nor efficient AFAIK. I know people eat them, but in places where they are raised and trained they tend to be used as beasts of burden rather than as food.
But what the fuck do I know, maybe mammoths died out originally because they were way too damn tasty to live, and the Neanderthals saw our skinny
Homo Sapien asses and were all like, "Fuck that, we may be about to die out but these assholes ain't gonna get our mammoth meat!"
And then it was the biggest barbecue of all time.
I don't even care, I just want to be a MAMMOTH COWBOY.

People sure seemed to like them, 20,000 years ago. That is, if the bones are evidence.

1) :lulz:
2) If we're going to be fucking with their DNA any, why don't we genetically engineer them to be both tasty and efficient? That's how genetics works, right?
3) I would totally be a Mammoth Cowboy. That would be the third most exciting job ever, right behind football-playing king in space, and Batman.
i heard about this on the radio. "we want to study it's genes to find out why it went extinct"..................
but MAMMOTH BURGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously. What the hell use is science if it isn't good to eat?

Indeed, that is
exactly how genetics works. But only if you use quantum.
Thinking about that, since it's the Japanese that will be cloning the beast, how many trunks do you think they will give it? It's gotta open up entire new worlds of possibility in live-action tentacle porn ...
