As children, many of us were fascinated with dinosaur films and asked ourselves if there would be dinosaurs that could walk the earth again. Thanks to advances in the field of paleogenetics and the new CRISPR gene editing technology, that sci-fi scenario is now a reality. In a discovery that could bring about the revival of lost species, researchers at Colossal Biosciences and Harvard University may soon give it a try. The science is working to reshape ecological conservation through blending with living relatives with the aid of ancient DNA.
