But when amber preserves things, it tends to preserve the husk, not the soft tissues. So you don\u2019t get blood preserved inside mosquitos in amber\u201d, Dr Susie Maidment, a dinosaur researcher at the Natural History Museum, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhm.ac.uk\/discover\/could-scientists-bring-dinosaurs-back.html\"><span>has said<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cA genome is the complete set of DNA of a living thing. Without the full genome, it would be impossible to tell which parts of the DNA have been found and therefore impossible to fill the gaps to build a whole animal,\u201d Dr Maidment added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBut if you did have the whole genome and you were going to fill the holes in fragments, then you definitely wouldn\u2019t do it with frogs, because frogs are amphibians. If you were going to do it, you\u2019d use bird DNA, because birds are dinosaurs. Or you might do it with crocodile DNA, because they share a common ancestor,\u201d Dr Maidment concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Hodak\u2019s suggestion raised eyebrows among movie fans, given the outcome of the Jurassic Park plot.
