Yes, we have many sequences of avian dinosaurs (birds) and presumably future genome engineering methods will allow us to take those avian dinosaurs and give them the phenotype of titanosaurs and other extinct dinosaurs. But we will never be able to tell what DNA they had. It's gone. The best we can do is metabolomics.
- williamdclt 3y agoCan we really know the phenotype of extinct dinosaurs, without their DNA? Whatever is left of these dinosaurs (fossils, prints…) probably doesn’t allow to know everything about the phenotype. We can guess, but we can’t know?
