The private company Colossal Biosciences claims to have resurrected dire wolves through genetic editing. The resulting trio, ...

Turns out, it's really cute. Dire wolf skulls were significantly larger than gray wolves' The dire wolf was very similar to the present-day gray wolf but was much heavier, with a larger ...

Colossal's approach involved extracting ancient DNA from a 72,000-year-old dire wolf skull found in Idaho and a 13,000-year-old tooth from Ohio. The team then studied this genetic material to identify ...

Colossal's chief scientific officer Beth Shapiro says scientists extracted DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old inner ear bone from a dire wolf skull, and extracted and sequenced ...

Amid a supremely chaotic news environment—dominated by Trump’s deportations, Trump’s funding cuts and layoffs, Trump’s tariffs and, of course, the tumultuous stock market the tariffs produced—one ...

DNA recovered from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old skull is what propelled scientists at Colossal to bring back the dire wolf. The creatures, who have regularly appeared in pop culture ...

Colossal's chief scientific officer Beth Shapiro says scientists extracted DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old inner ear bone from a dire wolf skull, and extracted and sequenced the ...

Colossal had retrieved more than 400 dire wolf skulls from the La Brea Tar Pits in California, along with a 13,000-year-old tooth from Ohio and a 72,000-year-old skull from Idaho, extracting DNA ...

The Colossal team claims to have used a 72,000-year-old dire wolf skull and a 13,000-year-old tooth to isolate real dire wolf genome sequences, then map some of that genome onto gray wolf DNA.
