The Precision Genetic Engineering Behind Dire Wolf De-Extinction
The successful de-extinction of the dire wolf by Colossal Biosciences rests upon a foundation of sophisticated genetic engineering techniques, centered around CRISPR technology but extending to a comprehensive system for precise genomic modification. This achievement—introducing 20 specific genetic edits to recreate traits absent for 12,000 years—represents a milestone in the application of gene editing to…
