"you should publish this information in a book"

No, I want to write everything I know about it on this wiki.

"How reliable are your sources"

I think Professor Silver can make a decent guess about what might be possible in a century or two. But only time can tell.

"Jack Horner himself said that you can't use amber"

Indeed, he did. Until now amber hasn't yield much DNA. But only a few groups have actually tried. If found, I too think that amber would probably show us only a small amount of Dino-DNA.

However, when we fully understand how DNA functions, we just deduce what a T. rex genome looked like; using bird-, croc-, amber- and fossil- DNA as guidelines.
