Cloning from the Dead

When the recently deceased Michael Crichton wrote about cloning dead animals in 1991’s Jurassic Park it was still science fiction [via MailOnline]:

Scientists have created clones of a mouse that had been dead and frozen for 16 years.

It is the first time they have been able to clone a frozen animal.

The Japanese researchers say their work will benefit mankind - and could be used to bring back extinct animals such as the woolly mammoth or sabre tooth tiger.
