The T. rex International Paleontonomics Experiment (TrIPE) was responsible for the Tyrannosaurus rex draft genome, released on 1st April 2003 and described as “the genetic blueprint for the most important of the dinosaurs used in genetics today”. Unfortunately, it is no longer available on the Ensembl genome database, having been withdrawn for being totally fabricated. ☺
