This was the point I was trying to get across, though I had placed the DNA into the wrong surrogate... What you come up with is a hybrid, not an actual T-rex. And you could never get it to 100%, though eventually it could be negligable.

This was part of the big talk a couple years ago when some group got really excited and claimed they were going to try and breed wooly mammoths. They had a great plan and everything set out, but then realized they didn't actually have any way to access those genes...
