The condition of the fossil made it impossible to study ancient DNA. But recently, scientists in Taiwan, Japan and Denmark were able to extract some protein sequences from the incomplete jawbone.

Researchers analyzed ancient DNA from two female bodies that lived during the time when the Sahara was still a lush and humid savannah, approximately 14,500 to 5,000 years ago. This period is known as ...

So what exactly happened in the lab? Scientists at Colossal extracted ancient DNA from fossilized dire wolf remains, including a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old ear bone. From these ...

Three dire wolf pups have been created by Colossal scientists using ancient DNA, along with cloning and gene-editing technology, to alter the genes of a gray wolf, the prehistoric wolf's closest ...

Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences has announced the birth of three genetically engineered wolf pups − all with striking white fur − created with the help of ancient DNA obtained from ...
