As I'm on work I can't watch the video but... how does this work? Some species has to breed this animal. Don't its genes get altered with this process by default?

how do you think we got all these different kinds of dog breeds? humans have been cross breeding dogs for centuries, if not longer.
This is the same thing but with artificial insemination and some funky science with old DNA.

Pretty awesome that we get the de-extinction of an animal from 13,000 years ago before GTA6.

Resurrecting extinct human species was not on my bingo card.
I don't think it's morally justifiable to do this. What kind of a life would a genetically recreated Neanderthal children have? They'd be oddities for their entire lives. It's one thing to do this to animals, but Neanderthals are humans.

Ok, so we don’t have pure Direwolfs here but only some cross breed.

I didn't read the article, but didn't Dolly and her other clones (or clones animals similar to her) show rapid aging, like the nature figured out humans were trying to trick her and acted accordingly?
EDIT: Seems like it wasn't that.

Dolly was a true clone. 100% identical to the previous sheep, no issues whatsoever.
Cloning technology was also very new at the time. They tried to clone the Pyreian Ibex which was also 100% identical to the extinct speciesb ut it only survived for a couple minutes.
Nowdays people clone either pet dog or cats that passed away, no issues.

Made a picture for anyone who wants it from the images available of the pups:

Europeans are already a thing. Technically speaking these “direwolves” are as much direwolf as Europeans are neandertals. They only added a handful of genes to modern wolves. Not much. I’m more interested in the sequel.

Very cool, but from what I understand it is at best a genetically modified gray wolf because the actual dire wolf ancient dna is too damaged to copy or clone? Like evilore said, they compared the dire wolf and gray wolf genomes and determined that 20 changes in 14 genes gives you dire wolf chacteristics like a larger skull and white fur.
might seem trivial, but to biologists this distinction is important because we cannot be allowed to think we can let animals go extinct simply because we can bring them back.

Michael Crichton was way ahead of his time. If science can bring back (sort of) Dire Wolves, then you can bet in some underground lab or extreme remote island, dinosaurs are roaming around.

Id be more interested in stellars sea cow. when i was a kid i used to feel that dodo sadness for it. we do have quite a bit of sequences for it. It was relatively non invasive, lived in one small area and was good for the vegetation in the waters it swam. Also was cool as fuck.
for those asking about dinosaurs...dna has a decay half life of about 500 years......so basically its a no go. however there has been attempt to back engineer dinosaurs from chicken dna....but its not any particular dinosaur.

I wonder if a dodo can be resurrected too?

We shouldn't be allowed to think that this is ethical in the least. A living being isn't a toy. I'm so fedup with scientists playing God, kind of ironic considering how atheist they claim to be.
Bringing back animals from an old era in a completely different environment isn't only cruel but dangerous.

Rogan had a guest on who's on the team behind this recently.
As DNA technology gets better and better, what they'll be able to do really excites me. It's already changed the landscape of crime solving, I can't wait to see what it can do to recover DNA from ancient species and this field as well.
