AmidFuror,

I don't think there's a lot of value to having the muscle transcriptome of an extinct species, since it's probably similar enough to extant marsupial or even eutherian muscle transcriptomes. And we're not going to be building adult thylacines from scratch using this information.

Very surprising RNA could survive this long, though.
