OMG... a real Jurassic Park is happening.
>In a study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), an international team of paleontologists confirmed the presence of intact biomolecules and mineralized red blood cells inside fossils of a 115-million-year-old dinosaur. Although previous work has suggested similar possibilities, the team’s research is the first to chemically identify oxygen-carrying blood compounds known as heme.

Avian blood cells are nucleated. Mammals are unique in the aspect that they lose their nucleus.

the dna half life wouldve gone through 700 cycles already, anything past 1 cycle is pretty fucked for dna specifically, you really cant fill in the blanks when half of it is gone, and past 10 cycles its nonexistent, youre at less than 0.1% left

Couldn't you get billions of samples, each one having a little DNA left, and run the data through a supercomputer to fill in the gaps?
