Re: Cloning a T-rex would be far more difficult. [...] Any dinosaur DNA remaining in the cells would probably be damaged or degraded, making it impossible to use for cloning . In the fictional Jurassic Park, scientists repaired damage using amphibian DNA. In reality, they would need to know the complete dinosaur genome. Searle, as you know, after nuclear physics, genetics is my second forte <g>. So here's my advice to American paleontologists attempting to clone a T-rex: they can make up for damaged DNA by using the DNA of EXTANT T-rexs such as Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith and co. For instance, Wolfowitz's sweat-stained handkerchief might do the trick!!! Gus
