An award-winning city professor who studied evolution and dreamed of one day resurrecting extinct species has died aged 81.
Professor Bryan Clarke was a high-profile researcher at the University of Nottingham in genetics.
Among his work, which spanned four decades, was the co-founding of the Frozen Ark website which sought to preserve the DNA of endangered species with the idea that cloning technologies will be available in the future to resurrect them.
