dyor - Scientists have just “brought back” the dire wolf — a species that’s been extinct for over 10,000 years — using gene editing!
They took DNA from grey wolves, edited 20 specific spots across 14 genes, and then used domestic dogs as surrogates to give birth.
The DNA came from a dire wolf tooth that’s 13,000 years old, and an ear bone that’s around 72,000 years old. The result? Three baby dire wolves were born.
The company behind this is Colossal Biosciences. And they’re not stopping there — they’ve also got their eyes on bringing back the woolly mammoth, the dodo bird, and the Tasmanian tiger.
It all sounds super impressive, but also kind of worrying… Are we messing with nature a bit too much? Could this lead to some unintended consequences?
