Colossal Biosciences Makes Breakthrough in the Dodo’s Comeback
SMRTR summary
Colossal Biosciences has made significant progress in their dodo resurrection project by successfully cultivating pigeon primordial germ cells in the lab and securing $120 million in additional funding. This breakthrough allows for genetic editing of the Nicobar pigeon, the dodo's closest living relative, to create birds with dodo-like traits. The company's CEO expects dodo-like birds could be reintroduced to Mauritius within 5-7 years, with scientists already identifying suitable habitats.
