CRISPR: The gene-editing tool revolutionizing biomedical research

Galaxies on Instagram: "Scientists have brought back dire wolves using ancient DNA, with the first born on October 1, 2024 — over 10,000 years after their extinction. The genome was reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils, using AI tools to analyze the data and guide precise CRISPR edits. This was key in spotting complex mutations and filling in missing genetic gaps — something that would’ve been nearly impossible to do manually. The fossils date back 11,500 and 72,000 years.
