It’s impossible; it will be a transgenic emu, aka a #GMO, but it does give #ColossalBio more free press and another #DisInformation campaign to fundraise on 🧪
My latest for @science.org looks into Colossal's claim that the plan to "resurrect" moa is "completely a Māori initiative" with Ngāi Tahu research centre, Te Tira Whakamātaki @nicrawlencenz.bsky.social

Screaming to the abyss: #ColossalBio did not resurrect the dire wolf and they're probably just going to make an antelope with methemoglobinemia to give it a bluish color. Their #DeExtinction #DisInformation campaign is just a pyramid scheme because #ExtinctionIsForever 🧪

These animals are not dire wolves, they’re gene edited gray wolves; don’t fall for the #ColossalBio #DisInformation de-extinction is science fiction not fact…
Meet Remus, the first dire wolf to exist in over 10,000 years.

Nice extinction history article.
Steller’s sea cows are one of my favorite extinction encounters in museums. I discuss them in chapter 8 on playful figures (examples from @mnhn.fr & Smithsonian NatHist) and chapter 1 on forms (example from @nathist.bsky.social )

Legal counsel advised this letter is just an intimidation tactic that significantly misstates applicable defamation law. While I am always open to a healthy exchange of views with #ColossalBio or it's co-founder Ben Lamm, it casts a shadow of doubt on their claims to engage with their critics

Re the #ColossalBio recent announcement. They "say" they can use gene drive to eradicate screwworm, I say read this thread...
In my opinion population crash lethal gene drives will never work, no matter how many guide RNAs you daisychain into it. Resistance will inevitably evolve.

Apropos of the obvious, which tooth type are the #ColossalBio #DeExtinct frankenstmammoths going to have?
Mastodon tooth, North Sulphur River, NE Texas. At this locality Pleistocene alluvium overlays Late Cretaceous marine sediments, making for a double-whammy fossil collecting opportunity.
