Colossal Biosciences announces new AI platform to help accelerate de-extinction efforts
TE TechCrunch 
Key takeaways
Colossal Biosciences launched GenoMorph, an AI platform to aid de-extinction by analyzing limited genetic data, focusing on the dodo bird.
- GenoMorph uses 3D morphology and genomics to identify key genes for de-extinction projects.
- The dodo has only one available genome, unlike the woolly mammoth with 100 genomes.
- The AI predicts genetic switches that shaped the dodo's unique features using bird developmental data.
