Direwolves Are Back! Or are they? Colossal’s Controversial De-Extinction Project

3 months ago

Colossal Biosciences claims to have brought back the direwolf using CRISPR gene editing. Their team, led by Dr. Beth Shapiro and Dr. Matt James, edited 14 genes in gray wolf embryos to resemble the legendary predator.

Three pups—Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi—were born. But scientists like Dr. Nick Rollins argue: a few edited genes don’t bring back an extinct species.

Is this real de-extinction or just a futuristic imitation?
