Colossal Biosciences has launched GenoMorph, an AI-driven platform designed to identify critical genetic markers for de-extinction projects where ancient DNA samples are scarce. By leveraging comparative genomics and 3D morphology data from living bird relatives, the system predicts functional genetic switches to guide CRISPR editing efforts, such as those for the dodo. This approach represents a significant methodological shift in synthetic biology, using machine learning to overcome limitations imposed by degraded historical DNA samples.

Colossal Biosciences announces new AI platform to help accelerate de-extinction efforts

TechCrunchOctober 14, 20264 min read

Colossal announced a new AI platform to help accelerate its de-extinction efforts and Peter Diamandis has launched a new fund to back startups who use it.

Colossal Biosciences announced Wednesday a new AI platform to help accelerate its efforts to bring back extinct species, TechCrunch can exclusively report. The platform, called GenoMorph, uses advanced 3D morphology, comparative genomics, and developmental biology to identify genes that could be edited in de-extinction projects with limited gene data. The company is using it as part of its effort to bring back the dodo bird, for which there are limited genomes to work with. For…
