Ancient DNA shows an endangered dove species endemic to Cuba is more genetically distinct than the dodo was before it died out.

The dodo was surprisingly also a type of dove ... No one knows how old the dove family is, but an analysis of DNA combined with the age of several pigeon fossils in this study suggests that ...

In Cuba, you can find a beautiful dove that has a brown-feathered body topped with an iridescent blue head. It might not be ...

Then, large sections of DNA from another species ... It could even be used to bring the extinct dodo back to life once enough genetic data has been collected from preserved samples.

Researchers sequenced the DNA of Cuban blue-headed quail dove, expecting clear origins. Instead, they found it has no close relatives.

This was an alarming start to the idea of gene de-extinction. As we know from movies like The Thing, digging up frozen ...

A groundbreaking scientific initiative to bring back extinct animals has gained star-studded support, with Tom Brady and Tiger Woods joining forces with Colossal Biosciences. The b ...

One of the most infamous cautionary tales of humanity's follies, the reasons behind the extinction of the dodo are even more ...

This week saw the release of some fascinating news about some very furry rodents— so-called “woolly mice ”—created as part of an experiment to explore how we might one day resurrect the woolly mammoth ...

Colossal Biosciences has focused on identifying key traits of extinct animals by studying ancient DNA, with a goal to genetically "engineer them into living animals," said CEO Ben Lamm.
