Colossal’s dire wolf project is not a resurrection – it is an imitation. But that doesn’t mean it lacks value. It offers a ...

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

After the 'Game of Thrones' craze, the dire wolves are back, this time for real. The Texas-based biotech firm Colossal ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce a ...

They transferred that genetic material to an egg cell from a domestic dog. When ready, embryos were transferred to surrogates, also domestic dogs, and 62 days later the genetically engineered pups ...

But now, thanks to advancements in genetic engineering and ancient DNA analysis, three wolf pups—Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi—are said to embody the spirit of this legendary predator.

Using AI as a mainstay for the genetic engineering of the dire wolf sequence, three dire wolf pups—two male, one female—have been presented to the world. The development has revived a number ...

They are gray wolves with a few cosmetic tweaks. In this light, the project represents a remarkable demonstration of genetic engineering, rather than a literal revival of an extinct species.
