The revival effort took shape in Colossal’s Dallas lab, where scientists engineered the dire wolf by modifying the DNA of a close relative — the gray wolf. “We used gray wolf cells ...

Colossal Biosciences says it used novel gene-editing technology to alter gray wolf DNA that led to the birth of the pups. Dire wolves recently featured prominently in the HBO series Game of Thrones.

Donald Trump has believed, since the 1980s, that the US should retreat behind a Great Wall of tariffs ... If so, his only legacy will be a grey, resentful and defeated nation. The average American ...

Three dire wolf pups — aptly named Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi — were successfully born using DNA from ancient dire wolf fossils and genes from their closest living relative, the grey wolf.

With further genetic discoveries, Colossal's team took it a step further. They identified 20 distinct genes that defined the dire wolf and edited them into the DNA of grey wolves — their closest ...

Three genetically engineered wolves that may resemble extinct dire wolves are trotting, sleeping and howling in an undisclosed secure location in the U.S., according to the company that aims to ...

A biotech company says it has bred three animals with key physical features of the dire wolf — a species that has been extinct for more than 12,000 years. Colossal Biosciences says it used novel ...

DULUTH — Driving along Haines Road on April 3, I noticed a great gray owl sitting in the snow. Great gray owls are creatures of the boreal forest and only occasionally are found this far south.
