    Nope. That’s just a shitty article. Here you can read that 1) what they compared was not T-rex’s DNA, it was collagen and 2) the results confirmed the closest relatives to dinosaurs were birds in general, not chicken. By the way, dinosaur DNA might indeed have already been found (in a hadrosaurid called Hypacrosaurus), but it’s not entirely sure yet.
