I occurs to me that an ostrich has conserved many genes from bipedal dinosaurs and so have the crockodilians which are for all intents and purposes still dinosaurs. One could also find Dino genes in Komodo Dragons.
If one were to lay the sequences of both out side by side and reject all the ostrich mutations that have happened in the last 65 million years, one would be left 99.9 % or more of the genome of a functional dinosaur.
All that would be needed to resurrect the beast would be to throw away the duplicitous ones and hybridize these two gene sets and surgically inject them into oocytes just before the female puts egg shell on them.
Another approach might be by injecting crockodilian proteins into areas of developing avian body parts, they can be induced to differentiate into dino parts if the basic genes are still there. If they are not, gene transplants can be made from embryonic crocks directly into developing chicken embryos.
J. Craig Venter and a good embryologist could probably make this thing in less than 3 years. They might even be able to make a male one and a female! What better proof of evolution than to turn it back 65 million years. We have seen parthenogenesis in Komodo Dragons so that male gene sets might not even be needed to breed and it might be quite easy to pull this off.
