Xenobots are microscopic, programmable biological machines constructed entirely from living cells without any genetic modification. Measuring less than a millimeter, they lack traditional mechanical parts and are entirely organic, biodegradable, and derived primarily from embryonic stem cells of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis).

Colossal Biosciences Is Making Jurassic Park Look Like a Pitch Deck

Dear Cherubs, Dallas has apparently decided extinction is just a product category. Colossal Biosciences is now a billionaire-level biotech spectacle, with the company saying its latest Series C brought total funding to $615 million and ABC News reporting a roster of celebrity backers that includes Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, Paris Hilton and Peter Jackson. Dallas Innovates also reported that the CIA’s venture arm, In-Q-Tel, invested in Colossal back in 2022.

The result is a company that sounds like it was brainstormed by a film studio, a venture fund and a very committed science teacher. Colossal says it is working on de-extinction projects tied to the woolly mammoth, dodo, thylacine and dire wolf, using gene editing, synthetic biology and related conservation tools. So no, this is not literally Jurassic Park; it is more like Jurassic Park after legal review and a lot of grant money.

THE TEA, BUT WITH MICROPIPETTES

In April, Reuters reported that Colossal announced three genetically engineered wolf pups and called them the world’s first successfully “de-extincted” animals, while outside experts were more cautious and described them as genetically modified gray wolves with added dire-wolf traits. ABC News said Colossal edited gray wolf cells at multiple sites and noted the two species are about 99.5% genetically identical, which is a very impressive number and also a reminder that biology is rude and complicated.

That is the key detail the movie version never pauses for: the company is not dusting off a frozen dinosaur and pressing play. It is using ancient DNA, gene editing and surrogate biology to create something that resembles an extinct species closely enough to trigger headlines, debates and a healthy amount of side-eye. The label “de-extincted” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

WHY THE MONEY FLOWS

The money makes more sense when you look at the technology stack. Dallas Innovates reported that In-Q-Tel said its interest in Colossal was “less about the mammoths and more about the capability,” while Colossal’s own materials say the work could scale CRISPR, synthetic biology, artificial wombs and genomic preservation platforms. In other words, the extinct-animal angle is the headline; the platform is the business.

Colossal has also built a pop-culture-friendly halo around the science. Its advisory board page lists Tom Brady and George R.R. Martin among its cultural advisors, which is exactly the kind of sentence that makes the internet stop scrolling for a second. That is the trick here: make de-extinction feel part science, part blockbuster, part meme, and suddenly the cap table looks almost inevitable.

The hot take is simple: this is not a cartoonish clone factory, and it is not pure hype either. It is a very expensive attempt to push gene editing, cloning-adjacent methods and reproductive tech into territory that could one day matter for conservation as much as spectacle. The dinosaurs are still fiction, but the lab bills are extremely real.

The cytoplasmic abundant heat-soluble protein (CAHS12), naturally found in resilient microscopic tardigrades, can be utilized to preserve the structural integrity and biological function of synthetic cells during extreme dehydration. By replicating this natural survival mechanism, scientists can dry out and successfully rehydrate biological materials without causing cellular death.

When a gene is transcribed, it creates physical ripples along the DNA strand that can either activate or suppress neighboring genes. The physical ordering and arrangement of these genes, known as "gene syntax," directly dictates how their structural interactions couple their expression.

Synthetic biology is a multidisciplinary area of research that involves the design and construction of novel biological parts, devices, and systems, as well as the re-design of existing, natural biological systems for useful purposes. Its primary goal is to apply rigorous engineering principles to biology.

SMART (Single-Molecule Assay on Ribonucleic acid by Translated product) is an advanced in vitro selection platform designed to accelerate directed enzyme evolution. It significantly reduces the time and cost required to identify superior enzyme variants by tracking them at the single-molecule level.

If you could build a synthetic plant-soil ecosystem from scratch for use on another planet (ignore if this makes sense or not), would it have mycorrhiza?

Explain why or why not... 😀

Oh my holy rabbit. 300 chars on #BlueSky are so short but lets look maybe it will trigger someone there #Palantir & #KarpManifesto are boring. #BioHacking #SyntheticBiology is the future. https://floof.sbs#09 https://floof.sbs#12 multi-layered bio-cipher to hide messages in DNA using Gaussian bell curves, prime numbers, hydrogen-bond checksums & wobble positions of the code sun. Untraceable for any #LLM. #BioIT

🌀 Inspired by the #ShanghaiTower.

Qi Zhang & Ben Feringa's team developed the first synthetic dynamic helical #polymer.

➿ At low temperatures, the molecule looks like a coiled spring, which unfolds again upon heating. 🌡️

Nghiên cứu mới cho thấy cách điều khiển vi sinh vật ở mức đơn bào với khả năng thích nghi hoàn hảo không bị nhiễu. Bằng việc kết hợp bộ điều khiển antithetic integral feedback với “noise controller” dựa trên dimer hoá, nhóm duy trì mức trung bình và giảm nhiễu đầu ra tới Fano ≈1, áp dụng thành công cho hệ thống sửa chữa DNA của E. coli. Tiềm năng cho thuốc lập trình an toàn. #syntheticbiology #biotech #độngcơ #côngnghệ #côngnghệ sinh học #singlecell #RPA
