The dodo and the Nicobar pigeon are family. Just with many millions of DNA differences. So which ones gave the dodo that distinct schnoz? Our CSO Dr. Beth Shapiro breaks down how our new software, GenoMorph, helps us find the DNA switches that may have shaped it.
The biotech firm trying to bring extinct species back to life, Colossal, will return the rare egg of a flightless bird called the moa to New Zealand https://t.co/jqt4SJNQeq
The dire wolf pups just had their biggest check-up yet. 🐺 CT scans, heart scans, X-rays, bloodwork, even whole-genome sequencing.

One of nature's greatest innovations just got an upgrade🥚
Enter Colossal's Artificial Egg, a key milestone for de-extinction with major implications for conservation in the future. We’ve already hatched 26 healthy chicks using this tech and are closer to bringing back the moa.
@John_zhong324@Polymarket One component of rewilding the dodo will require the establishing of a sustainable habitat that is protected from non-native species
