摘要
DNA is a molecule which contains information about the organism from which it's extracted. Extraction of ancient DNA (aDNA) from the remains/fossils of the organisms enables to establish phylogenetic relationships (relating two organisms to a common ancestor) among extinct and modern species. The cloning of aDNA promises the reintroduction of extinct or endangered species into wild in the near future.
