These editorials are always awesome. Very well-researched and greatly edited (great b-rolls and camera work too) theVerge please Keep it up and you'll become huge
Thanks to THE VERGE for this amazing episode of Detours. I love your poductions and attention to esthetics in your content and way of presenting it. Please keep it up!
wait I'm a little confused here...are these wild cats, that are being cloned because they are endangered, coming out with the neon glow in the dark traits because of the cloning process? That may not help them survive in the wild in the first place.
I remember reading an article in this a while back. These glow in the dark cats probably weren't cloned but have a gene that makes then resistant to feline HIV along with that gfp gene to confirm they have that resistance gene by glowing in the dark
Doesn't seem like the glowing eyes have anything to do with the cloning itself, it's more of a tool in GMO'ing that tells you that the gene wanted to insert into the organism have successfully done so, this happens because that inserted gene has been coupled with a fluorescent gene.
Unfortunately, that would be impossible unless you had a time machine, as the half life of DNA is 521 years. You would have had to have lived within a 1000 years of a live dinosaur to have any chance of recovering even a smidgen of DNA.
Cont. However, freezing DNA samples is an excellent way of preserving DNA records. These could be used in the future, potentially anywhere up past 500,000 years into the future to "re-create" the species. But remember, the longer the time, the more degradation happens to the DNA.
Does anyone know any endangered species that are vital? Like really important need to save an endangered species. I find cloning very interesting, and If there is an important need to save an endangered species, it should be done. Why can people be against this?
I love my dog Francis his a Border Collie and he's just so adorable and he just a loving protective dog my mom said she would cry if Francis would die and I said no worries I promised if I have enough money I'd clone Francis !
It might sound callus, but there are more important research that needs to be conducted. Yes, we contribute to extinction of animals, but why don't they use their efforts in giving a more practical application to preserving life, instead of cloning it. Also, they're many diseases, viruses, and global warming that are environmental killers. Unless we want cats to reign over long after we die, all that work was in vane. Think of ways to preserve life. A florescent cat doesn't save a species.
Because your in your quite room in peace consuming on you computer using electricity instead of there being a forest in your place and until humans perfect living and consuming we will be using a lot of space!
Alright but stick with endangered cat species. There are already too many domestic cats to handle as it is. Making glow-in-the dark ones isn't going to help all the ones at the Humane Society get adopted.
This technology would have been much more developed if it wasn't for diehard fans of religion. I believe in religion & God, but I'm a open-mind person & I'm sure God is, too. I don't see nothing wrong with this, the ones that are wrong are those making a huge deal out of it.
Verge documentaries are definitely some of the best I've ever seen. fascinating, insightful, and entertaining to watch! well done

Excellent videography and production as always. Also really really fascinating.
Wow, beyond the all the scientific stuff, this was really moving.
Very interesting. Thanks for bringing this research to light.

Where was it written that this is wrong? I need quotes.
6:53
Woah was not expecting that
Whats the intro song?
How much is a cat like this worth!?!? And where can i get one?
So in theory all we need is a Skin cell from a Dinosaur, and a chicken to clone it
5:15 CUTE!
Great content, I would've this video to be longer. Just when I was starting to get into it and be really interested the video sadly ended. =(

Glowing kitteh =^.^=
But seriously be nice to the kittens, they're beautiful animals.
Jurassic park is possible!? Yes! What can possibly go wrong?
Very interesting

yes
T-Rex and chicken :D
clone me a green human and i'll be impressed.
We're protecting kitties. come on.
I love my dog Francis his a Border Collie and he's just so adorable and he just a loving protective dog my mom said she would cry if Francis would die and I said no worries I promised if I have enough money I'd clone Francis !
i want them to clone me.

The cat army will rise. Fear humans!
To be fair to him, his ideology is Bronze Age thinking. Hahahaha
The Stone Age is at the door to your left. Please leave.
this is just so cruel, its beyond gods will who created everything
Clone a white tiger
Cats are the best.
Next up, Mewtwo!
THE CATS ARE TAKING OVER !!! NOOOO
Not sure if trolling or just stupid.

but jesus tho?
Why does human acting like god ......
This is just wrong. God will punish these people for it. Jesus Christ our lord and saviour is number one!
1st
This idea is cool and all but I can not stand this Dr. Martha Gomez's accent. So annoying.
get out of here
Who's God? Sorry I don't believe in fairy tales
