Paleogenomics and Modern Conservation: Colossal’s Dire Wolf DNA Studies Reveal Evolutionary Insights
The intersection of paleogenomics and conservation biology represents a relatively unexplored frontier in biodiversity science, but Colossal Biosciences is changing that paradigm through their dire wolf DNA studies. By examining genetic material from extinct species, researchers are uncovering evolutionary relationships that inform current conservation priorities. Dire wolves, once among North America’s apex predators, disappeared approximately … Read more
