Breakthrough in dodo de-extinction. Bringing back the dodo is like rebuilding a lost hit from a few scratchy records. The tricky part? The arrangement, aka regulatory DNA. GenoMorph studies living birds to learn how it works. Swipe to learn more.

An extinct bird’s egg. A Colorado auction. A very overdue trip home. 🥚🇳🇿
After roughly 60 years in a private American collection, this rare moa egg is returning to Aotearoa New Zealand. We bought it to bring it home, under Ngāi Tahu’s guidance.

Getting genetic tools into a bird embryo that’s still developing in the egg is tough. In a new preprint, the Colossal avian team shows lipid nanoparticles can reliably deliver them with high viability.
📄 Preprint is out now on bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
The dodo and the Nicobar pigeon are family. Just with many millions of DNA differences. So which ones gave the dodo that distinct schnoz? Our CSO Dr. Beth Shapiro breaks down how our new software, GenoMorph, helps us find the DNA switches that may have shaped it.

The biotech firm trying to bring extinct species back to life, Colossal, will return the rare egg of a flightless bird called the moa to New Zealand bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
