The company from Dallas claims that she returned Volkov, who last wandered around the ground more than 12,500 years ago and became widely known thanks to the popular HBO series. “Game of Thrones.”
The Colossal Biosciences company states that with the help of genome editing technologies it has revived three terrible wolves, and now, according to them, this is the first successful “resurrected animal”, although one expert believes that the company simply genetically modified the wolf and did not return the highest predator from the extinction.
The terrible wolves wandered around the center of the American continent during the ice age, and the oldest confirmed fossil of a terrible wolf age is 250,000 years old, it is in Black Hills. South DakotaAccording to Colossal Biosciences. In the “Game of Thrones”, the wolves are larger and smarter than ordinary wolves and fiercely devoted to their old people, the most important noble family in the series.

The main migrating species that are vulnerable and under the threat of disappearance
Three sections of the terrible wolves of the colossal include two teenage males named Romulus and Remus and one puppy-samk named Khalisi.
According to the typo Bet Shapiro, the main researcher of Colossal, scientists took blood cells from a living gray wolf and used CRISPR technology, abbreviated from “cluster, regularly located short palindrome repetitions” to genetically modify them in 20 different places. These changes gave the puppies such features as larger, thick and bright fur – features that are believed to help terrible wolves survive in the cold climate during the ice age.
20 changes in the genome were made to replicate the ancient DNA of the fierce wolf, and 15 of these changes correspond to the genes found in real fiercely wolves.
Ancient DNA was extracted from two fossils of a terrible wolf: a tooth of Sheridan-pit, Ohio, whose age is about 13,000 years old, and the bones of the inner ear from the American Fales, Aidaho, about 72,000 years old.
They transferred the genetic material to the egg of a home dog. When the embryos were ready, they were handed over to surrogate mothers, including home dogs, and after 62 days genetically engineering puppies were born.
Ben Lamm, CEO of Colossal Biosciences, said that it was an important milestone and the first of many upcoming examples showing that the company's through approach Resurrection technology Stack works.
“Once it was said:“ Any sufficiently developed technology is indistinguishable from magic, ”Lamm said. “Today, our team will be able to reveal part of the magic that they are working on, and its wider influence on the preservation of nature.”

One of the fifth migrating animals threatens extinction, the UN report said in the first form
Colossal previously announced similar projects for the genetic change in living species for creating animals resembling extinct woolly mammoths, drys and others.
During the announcement this week, the company announced that it made two litters of cloned red wolves, wolves, under the greatest threat of disappearance in the world, using a new approach to non -invasive blood cloning.
The birth of red wolves, according to the company, proves that it can preserve animals using the resurrection technology.
Lamm said that at the end of March the team met with representatives of the Ministry of the Interior about the project, and the Minister of Internal Affairs Dug Burgum on Monday praised the work on the X as an “exciting new era of scientific miracles”, although third -party scientists said that there were restrictions in restoring the past.

Corey Bradshaw, a professor of global ecology at the University of Flinders in Australia, denied the allegations that the company had returned the fierce wolf back. From extinction.
“So yes, perhaps they have slightly genetically modified wolves, and this is probably the best that you can get,” Bradshaw said. “And these small modifications seem to have been obtained from the extracted material of a terrible wolf. Does this do his terrible wolf? No. It turns out a slightly modified gray wolf? Yes. And, probably, that’s all. ”
The Colossal Biosciences company said that wolves are now flourishing in a safe extensive environmental reserve with an area of 2000 acres in Texas, which is certified by the American Society of Animal Protection and registered in the US Department of Agriculture. In the long run, Colossal plans to restore this species in safe and extensive environmental reserves, possibly on the lands of indigenous peoples.
