For more than a year, the North-Eastern Federal University in Yatusk, Siberia, has been working with scientists in South Korea, with the aim of resurrecting the wooly mammoth and other extinct animals from Pleistocene era.

Now they have been searching for funding to build a ‘world-class paleo-genetic scientific center’ to house their work. The center will include underground laboratories sunk into the permafrost, and will be funded with support from the regional government of Yakutia.


The center’s goal will be to use living cells to study extinct animals and possibly even be able to restore the species. Mammoths, cave lions, wooly rhinoceroses, and various sub-species of prehistoric horses and other animals were all native to Yakutia long ago.

Studying the animals using living cells isn’t as far-fetched as you might believe, despite how long the creatures have been extinct. There are many sets of remains from these species that died and were encased in permafrost which left them in a remarkable state of preservation.

In fact, some 80% of all existing unique samples of animals from the Pleistocene and Holocene eras which still have some soft tissue preservation come from this part of the world, which is another solid reason for building the research center there.


The university has been partnering with the SOOAM Biotech Research Foundation in South Korea on their research work.

The center’s ultimate goal involves being able to extract enough useful DNA from preserved soft tissue to effectively clone these extinct species.
