WASHINGTON, D.C.—The rebirth of an extinct frog species may come from the freezer, not the stomach. The gastric brooding frog, when it existed on Earth, swallowed its eggs, transformed its stomach ...

Just a few days ago, we were asking if de-extinction was possible, and today, we’re a huge step closer to bringing recently extinct species back to life. Researchers have announced that they’ve grown ...

Scientists may soon bring a species of frog (Rheobatrachus silus or the gastric brooding frog) back from the dead. The frog—which bizarrely swallowed its eggs, incubated them in its stomach, and gave ...

The genome of an extinct Australian frog has been revived and reactivated by a team of scientists using sophisticated cloning technology to implant a "dead" cell nucleus into a fresh egg from another ...

ELIZABETH JACKSON: In a world first, a team of Australian scientists have taken the first major step in bringing an extinct animal back to life. For the last 30 years the gastric brooding frog, an ...

The New York Times has an interesting piece today on advances in the terrifying field of extinct-animal cloning. Per the paper: “Last week at a conference in Washington, scientists from Australia ...

The gastric brooding frog may be coming back. Does that give us a lot to brood about, too? This week scientists at the University of New South Wales' Lazarus Project announced they have reproduced the ...

An unusual species of mouth-brooding frog was likely driven to extinction by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), making an unusual example of ‘extinction by infection’, argue scientists ...

Although the gastric brooding frog became extinct in the mid-1980s, the genome of that Australian amphibian species is alive again thanks to modern biotech techniques. Michael Archer, leader of the ...
