ANIMALS
The breeding of animals for a variety of human needs and endeavors is as old as humanity itself. Genetic engineering promises to open exciting new markets for companies that rely on pets, work animals, and animal husbandry. Join us in exploring the possibilities for business.
Discover how genetic engineering is paving the way for the first de-extinction zoo, with Colossal Biosciences leading the charge to revive extinct animals and create a modern Jurassic Park.
The Earth BioGenome Project aims to sequence 1.8 million species—like a nationwide Pokémon Go for DNA. What does it mean to "catch them all" in science?

AI-driven livestock genomics is reshaping pig breeding. From genome data to machine learning, discover how science is engineering faster, leaner, and healthier pork.
Can CRISPR fix what humanity broke? “Toad Catcher” explores the promise and peril of gene editing in ecological restoration—from coral engineered for heat tolerance to birds resisting avian malaria. A sharp, satirical look at biotech’s bold experiment with nature.
Explore the race for the "forever pet" as biotech cloning and AI- powered companions compete to preserve our emotional bonds with animals. From $50,000 clones to robotic dogs that teach your habits, this analysis explores the ethics, technology, and cultural implications of immortalizing pets.
Can genomics rebalance nature? Explore how biodiversity genomics supports conservation, monitoring, and ecosystem restoration efforts worldwide.
Coral reefs, often referred to as the "rainforests of the sea," are biodiversity powerhouses. They support nearly a quarter of all marine life, protect coastlines, and fuel economies through tourism and fisheries.
England’s new Genetic Technology Act could open the door to CRISPR-edited pets. Explore the ethical, social, and cultural risks of breeding “designer dogs” in the age of biotech.
From cashmere to climate resilience, goats are stepping into the spotlight as unsung heroes of agricultural genomics. What can their DNA teach us about food, fiber, and the future?
Editing bee genomes may protect crops — but it also risks ecological disruption and raises ethical concerns.
Imagine a world of engineered animals tailored not for cuddle sessions, but concrete tasks—from poodles that nibble less to genetically-crafted service animals. But what ethical risks lie ahead?
Scientists are engineering microbes to digest plastic waste. Could this biotech breakthrough revolutionize ocean cleanup and reshape recycling?
Seabiscuit was more than just a racehorse—he was a symbol of hope during one of America’s darkest chapters.
