A Texas-based biotechnology firm used advanced AI and gene editing to reconstruct the dire wolf genome from ancient DNA. Scientists then edited grey wolf cells to create viable embryos, leading to three pups born on October 1, 2024. The firm, Colossal Biosciences, is now aiming for its first woolly mammoth birth in the 2030s.
