Two independent stories report that a de‑extinction company has introduced genetic modifications to a gray wolf's DNA, claiming to have resurrected an animal resembling the long‑extinct dire wolf. Both reports detail the specifics of the genome editing process and its potential implications for conservation and scientific research. The reports underline debates over the ethics and feasibility of reviving extinct species and what this breakthrough means for the future of de‑extinction efforts.
Startup Colossal Biosciences has edited the DNA of a gray wolf to produce what it says is a de-extincted animal. Does that make it a true dire wolf?
What they delivered is a grey wolf genome carrying a handful of genetic edits.
