The de-extinction company.

Breakthrough in dodo de-extinction. Bringing back the dodo is like rebuilding a lost hit from a few scratchy records. The tricky part? The arrangement, aka regulatory DNA. GenoMorph studies living birds to learn how it works. Swipe to learn more.

📄 Preprint is out now on bioRxiv https://t.co/oa2MnLmOao

Getting genetic tools into a bird embryo that’s still developing in the egg is tough. In a new preprint, the Colossal avian team shows lipid nanoparticles can reliably deliver them with high viability.

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 trick to making therapy work, is to stick with it

@motorsep Khaleesi was never a breeding candidate and pack growth will come from new, genetically distinct dire wolves.

[Colossal Biosciences® @colossal]

The dire wolf pups just had their biggest check-up yet. 🐺 CT scans, heart scans, X-rays, bloodwork, even whole-genome sequencing.

The verdict? Happy and healthy from snoot to tail.

But how big are they? Scroll for the official weigh-in. ⬇️
