This is a quote from the Recreating dinosaurs article:

In a particular phase in cell division, the cell creates a nuclear membrane around chromosomes. A cell (or medium) could fooled to build a nuclear membrane around the artificial chromosomes.

There are experiments in which they did create nuclear membrane around DNA.

However, we only need to create a nuclear membrane if you are gonna recreate all the DNA of a dinosaur, turn the naked DNA into chromosomes and use all those chromosomes in a nucleus to clone the dinosaur.

Like Henry Wu we should use a much easier/successfull way:
 * just take an egg cell of an existing animal closely related to dinosaurs. Ostrich?
 * only replace the parts of the bird-DNA with dino-DNA that will make it to look like a dinosaur.

It is this method that is used by actual scientists to recreate the Mammoth and Chickenosaurus. Once this is done, you can keep adding new pieces of dino-DNA until it is 100%. If you have the money.

In this way you do not need to mess with the nucleus and stuff.
