From a specimen preserved in alcohol. It is my understanding that formaldehyde destroys DNA, but alcohol doesn't. This issue was discussed on a recent documentary about the Tigers. They said they would use a Tasmanian Devil as a surrogate. They must be planning to take the pup from the pouch early.
It's not altogether convincing they are extinct. Too many credible sightings.
