Colossal scientists have created three dire wolf pups by using ancient DNA, cloning and gene-editing technology to alter the genes of a gray wolf, the prehistoric dire wolf’s closest living ...

A group of scientists claims to have brought back to life a species of wolf that went extinct more than 10,000 years ago - but is it true? Here's all we know about the three pups created by ...

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.

Now, researchers have bred gray-wolf pups that carry genes of their ancient cousins. By Carl Zimmer Carl Zimmer writes the “Origins” column and has covered de-extinction for more than a decade.
