Quagga Genes Cloned by UC Berkeley Scientists
UC Berkeley researchers report cloning about 25 000 gene fragments from a 100 year old quagga tissue sample. Some fragments match zebra genes while others diverge from known horse lines. The work, funded by NIH and NSF, aims to resolve the quagga’s closest relatives and proves ancient DNA can be obtained from long dead animals.
