New AI platform GenoMorph identifies candidate regulatory DNA linked to the dodo's distinctive craniofacial anatomy, while technologies adapted from earlier species programs advance Nicobar pigeon germ-cell development, chicken stem-cell chimeras and embryo gene editing.

DALLAS, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Colossal Biosciences, the world's first de-extinction company, today announced new scientific milestones that will accelerate dodo de-extinction efforts.

Building on last year's advances in pigeon primordial germ cells, gene-edited chicken surrogates and comparative avian genomes, today Colossal unveiled GenoMorph, its AI platform developed to identify potential gene-editing targets from limited genomic data.
