How do you get a dinosaur DNA?

In: Health, Biology, Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

"There is very little DNA left in fossils, that are more than 100,000 years old", said Michael Hofreiter, a geneticist at the university of York in UK. "It is fragmented and there is a lot of contamination from other organisms, including bacteria, fungi and usually humans."
