Scientists have created a near-copy of the long-extinct dire wolf. Using advanced CRISPR gene editing tech, it now looks ...

The pups underwent 20 genetic edits across 14 genes to replicate the physical traits of their extinct ancestors.

Colossal CEO Ben Lamm said the team used DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old skull to analyze the full genome of the species and create three healthy dire wolf puppies ...

Two Ice Age wolf pups once thought to be early dogs have been identified as wild wolves, thanks to detailed DNA and chemical ...

By analyzing ancient DNA from fossils, including a 13,000-year-old tooth found in Ohio and a 72,000-year-old skull found in Idaho, Colossal scientists reconstructed the dire wolf genome to a 91 ...

Colossal says it extracted dire wolf DNA from two fossils — a roughly 13,000-year-old tooth found in Ohio and a 72,000-year-old inner ear bone discovered in Idaho.

Colossal says it extracted dire wolf DNA from two fossils — a roughly 13,000-year-old tooth found in Ohio and a 72,000-year-old inner ear bone discovered in Idaho.

The story of bringing dire wolves back from extinction begins not in a laboratory, but in ancient deposits where their ...

Researchers have long been intrigued by the dire wolf because it coexisted with the gray wolf – which did not go extinct – but there hasn't been enough dire wolf DNA found to analyze. Many ...

Hollywood helped Colossal Biosciences market its dire wolf revival project, ... it mapped the genome of the extinct wolf relying on DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and from a 72,000-year-old skull.

Colossal says it extracted dire wolf DNA from two fossils — a roughly 13,000-year-old tooth found in Ohio and a 72,000-year-old inner ear bone discovered in Idaho.

Colossal Biosciences says it used novel gene-editing technology to alter gray wolf DNA to breed the animals. Dire wolves recently featured prominently in the HBO series Game of Thrones.
