- A hundred million years ago, there were mosquitoes just like today. And just like today, they fed on the blood of animals. Even dinosaurs.
- Sometimes, after biting a dinosaur, the mosquitoes would land on the branch of a tree and get stuck in the sap.
- After a long time, the tree sap would get hard and become fossilized, just like a dinosaur bone, preserving the mosquito inside.
- This fossilised tree sap, which we call amber, waited for millions of years with the mosquito inside until Jurassic Park scientists came along.
- Using sophisticated techniques, they extract the preserved blood from the mosquito, and bingo: Dino DNA!
- A full DNA strand contains three billion genetic codes.
