Oh my, whoever could have predicted this‽ #ColossalBio is backtracking on it's time frame to #DeExtinct the mammoth –– I'm shocked! Shocked I say! (The article also discusses our TP53 and LIF6 work, and #PetosParadox but doesn't mention either of us.) 🤷 🦣 😂

If I understand my WWII history we're about a year away from the MAGAs starting a project to deextinct Abraham Lincoln
Bloody gloves belonging to Abraham Lincoln. When the President was shot by John Wilkes Booth, some of the blood ran down his sleeve and pooled in the pocket which contained the gloves.

What annoys me about the "dire wolf thing" is why "deextinct" something without an ecological niche left behind. It died out 13000 years ago. Hell if you want to play in the realm of god, why arent we creating a seed vault of complete genetic code for endangered/nearly extinct animals.

Look, I want to see extinct animals made deextinct as much as anyone. Alas, two problems.
First, genetically, these aren’t really dire wolves. Second, since the company that created them has “no plans to let them breed,” even if they were dire wolves, the species would still be effectively extinct.

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction
Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species

If you followed the dire wolf deextinct project, this is similar BUT WAY MORE ADVANCED! like a 100x more advanced.
Because I am not selective breeding w/ ancient traits. I am bringing the orginal back to life.

We should have gene vaults like book libraries. Where you can go to look at all the organisms to ever have lived on Earth in it's 5 billion year planet-span all over the world. W/ billions up billions of whole genomes available for assembly. Where we can actively track/deextinct species.

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.

“You would assume that when something's extinct, if it's rediscovered it automatically gets listed as threatened so it can get resources for protection or research,"
"But actually it doesn't get anything … species that are extinct actually are like a non-entity."
