To clone a dinosaur, it’s not just about finding DNA, but also about finding a complete set or sufficient fragments of a dinosaur’s DNA. This is because we need to assemble the tiny pieces to recreate the whole jigsaw puzzle—the genome. Every genome consists of millions of DNA strands. If we can identify the order or sequence of the bases within the DNA, we can put them back together. Research shows that DNA molecules break down and decay over time. The last dinosaur died more than 65 million years ago, so DNA is not currently available or accessible today. The hard parts of the body, like bones and teeth, are left behind even after millions of years, but DNA, the fundamental material needed to give rise to a living being, is very delicate. Even if some DNA survived, it may not have enough information to tell us the complete story of the biology of dinosaurs.\n
