one day man can re-create the raptor I will be truly amazed.
Can't. There is no dinosaur DNA available. A reasonable facsimile thereof, maybe. A raptorish chicken.
Hell, can't even make a mammoth, even though there are bits of mammoth DNA available, it still wouldn't be a mammoth. It would be a mammothish elephant.
Phooey !!!!
I am waiting for when they genetically make a human with tiny little mammal rat legs.
none of your nay saying!!!
Rat men will one day rule the planet.
The rest of the world will be that of The Island of Doctor Moreau.

Well, it answers that old question of which came first....the chicken or the egg, right?
Just a shame awakening dormant genes wont get us a real dinosaur.
But it will make succulent dino drumsticks for KFC I bet !!
Sad that this could be the ultimate end result of such things...

So chickens can grow lizardy legs by.. design?
Interesting, maybe it means the origin of man is other species.
Is the chicken in question still able to breed with other chickens?

Anybody answer: if you got a big enough population of mammothish elephants using DNA from a few different mammoths, could you then breed the elephant genes out?
Sounds like a Ph.D thesis for somebody.

Hmm. They’ve got far to go, I think.
Maybe they will be able to grow chickens the size of ostriches.
Just because you've changed the size of a leg bone isn't going to affect fertility.
So it could be possible to activate blocked off pathways to change the size of a critter.
possibly junk DNA code for
