    Hank Green has a good video on the subject. This is like grafting genes into chimpanzees to make them stand upright and be hairless, and calling them human. There’s some cool technology going on here, but it isn’t anywhere near a full clone.

      Thanks for the link, that’s an interesting material. However, I had to re-read that sentence three times trying to make sense of clothing items in genetics.

      UPDATE: It has been fixed. Thank you : ).

    Is anyone surprised by this? I feel like similar things have happened in the past with back breeding

    They needed a grabby headline for their sponsors to get excited about. “Multiplex CRISPR gene editing on Grey Wolf” doesn’t scream SciFi enough.

    Why be disappointed? This wolf died off for a reason. If you brought it back it would likely die off again. Beyond that if you don’t bring back a pack of them then they will be very lonely as they are pack animals.

      Probably because of constant media lies.

    We’ll have more accurate clones of more recently extinct species. DNA just doesn’t last that long.

    I said as much “How much of that DNA is just wolf? No way that thing is authentic.”

    And then both the people smiling look disappointed. Let me tell ya, I really know how to set a mood.
