scientists at Colossal had to extract and sequence DNA from two Dire Wolf Fossils, assemble ancient genomes from both, perform gene editing from their closest living relative (the Grey Wolf) and ...

Colossal extracted DNA from dire wolf fossils to create genomes, and then used them as a basis to modify the genes of grey wolves. The company says it used "20 precision edits" in the ...

Or, maybe, it's just a grey wolf with a few tweaks. American biotech company Colossal Biosciences made a surprise announcement Monday, claiming it had brought the dire wolf back from the dead ...

Dr Nic Rawlence, a paleogeneticist from the University of Otago in New Zealand, told the BBC that the DNA recovered from dire wolf fossils is too damaged to clone. Instead, scientists at Colossal ...

Scientists have shocked the world by bringing back the extinct dire wolf species which disappeared from our planet more than 10,000 years ago, but the remarkable genetic engineering company behind ...

What weighs 80 pounds, relies on a daily diet of beef, deer and horse meat, and displays a distinctly snowy fur coat? The answer, according to the Texas-based Colossal Biosciences, is a six-month ...

How was this scientific achievement made? Researchers at Colossal used ancient dire wolf DNA of the species and combined it with the genes of a grey wolf, which is the closest living ancestor of ...

“A grey wolf is the closest living relative of a dire wolf - they're genetically really similar - so we targeted DNA sequences that lead to dire wolf traits and then edited grey wolf cells.
