Dire Wolves- Brought Back From Extinction😲

Are we trying to play god again? Colossal Biosciences lab a company based in Dallas thinks so. A dire wolf which has been extinct a little over 12,000 years has been resurrected to walk the earth once again.

How Did They Revive The Dire Wolf?

Scientists extracted and sequenced DNA from two ancient dire wolf specimens — a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old ear bone. This analysis identified 20 key genetic differences between dire wolves and their closest living species, grey wolves.

Colossal Biosciences using CRISPR technology, which is a kind of molecular scissors to cut DNA at a specific location, researchers also edited the genomes (JE NOMZ) of grey wolf cells to incorporate these 20 specific genetic variants associated with dire wolf traits, such as larger size, broader heads and thicker fur. ​

The genetic material was then inserted into an egg cell from a domestic dog. Once the embryos were developed, they were implanted into surrogate dogs. Sixty-two days later, the genetically engineered Dire wolf pups were born. some experts will argue that they are genetically modified grey wolves rather than true representations of the extinct Dire wolf species. Colossal Biosciences says the Dire wolf pups are being cared for on a 2,000-acre preserve, "certified by the American Humane Society and registered with USDA.

The Dire Wolf experiment opens up many possibility when it comes to de-extinction not only for animals but hopefully for plants, forest or certain herbs perhaps.
So What's Next With Colossal Biosciences?
