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?
