Use of CRISPR to help bring back the dire wolf! Is this ok? What do you think?.
SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024. The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using

Bacteria never cease to amaze in their defence against viruses!.
My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹).1/

Thanks for the shout out @theBentoLab ! The UGenie students loved the BentoLabs @UlsterUniBiomed @UlsterUniLHS.
For anyone interested in PCR and education, here's a nice article about the inspirational UGenie 2024 workshop run by @UUGene_Editing at Ulster University, in which 32 A-level students got hands-on with PCR, gene editing & CRISPR using a suite of Bento Labs!. Also check out.
