🐺🧬 The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.

"I’ve been following that kind of thing for a while, it’s essentially a process of activating certain genes in a close relative to the extinct creature to get the offspring to resemble it, and then they hope through continued genetic sequencing they can get it to act in a manner fitting of the extinct animal

So by all means, all results now are just modern animals that superficially resemble the extinct creature, though the technology and research is an important stepping stone in potentially keeping endangered species alive

So unless we miraculously find a flawlessly preserved mammoth in a bog somewhere with all sperm and shit intact, no extinct creature can genuinely be brought back, but it can get very very close, eventually.

At least with the thylacine there’s a preserved baby in formaldehyde, and we’ve uncovered a handful of very well preserved mammoth specimens, some with liquid blood. Something like a dodo though would be a total bitch to recreate since the closest living relative looks nothing like it lol"

🇺🇸❌🇨🇳 — White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

"Countries like China, who have chosen to retaliate & try to double down on their mistreatment of American workers are making a mistake.

President Trump has a spine of steel, & he will not break, & America will not break under his leadership."



🇺🇸📞🇺🇦🇨🇳 — US State Department:

The United States is aware of reports that Ukraine captured two Chinese citizens fighting on behalf of Russia.

The reports are disturbing.

Washington's request not to have a debatable nuclear weapon, but if they seek other goals they may not achieve

We cut World Food Program aid in Yemen and Afghanistan so that the Houthis and Taliban do not benefit

🇮🇷🤝🇮🇶🇮🇶 — British Newspaper The Times reports that Iran has provided Shiite militias in Iraq with surface-to-surface missiles, including some long-range types capable of reaching Europe.

➡️ Iran has transferred long-range missiles to its proxy forces in Iraq for the first time, increasing the regime’s military footprint in the region even as President Trump threatens to hold Tehran accountable for the actions of its militia.

➡️ The Times has learned that Tehran has been bulking up its presence in the region by supplying a new batch of weapons to powerful Shia militias in Iraq, dashing hopes that Iran would withdraw support as it prepares to enter negotiations with the United States over its missile and nuclear programme.

➡️ The weapons were transferred last week, according to regional intelligence involved in monitoring the nearly 1,000-mile border between the countries. It was the first time long-range surface-to-surface missiles had been in the possession of an Iran-allied militia in Iraq. Sources said the delivery was arranged by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Air Force.
