Genetic modification isn't science fiction anymore.

We can edit DNA. We can genetically modify animals. CRISPR is already being used in human medicine. Scientists can recover genetic information from organisms that lived more than a million years ago—and researchers are actively exploring whether traits associated with extinct species can be engineered into their closest living relatives.

But how far can we actually go?

In this Static File from From the Tomb, we're separating real-life genetic engineering from science fiction. We break down the differences between selective breeding, genetic modification, genome editing and cloning; examine CRISPR, human genetic testing and gene editing; look at what Dolly actually proved; explore ancient DNA and the limits of genetic preservation; and enter the increasingly complicated world of de-extinction.

We'll also examine mammoth research, the controversial claim that the dire wolf has been “de-extinct,” and the difference between resurrecting an extinct species and engineering a living proxy to express some of its traits.

Because the deeper question isn't whether humans can manipulate life.

We already can.

The question is how far that ability can actually take us.

And if this is what we can do now…how far away are we really from creating something that begins to resemble the science fiction we've imagined for decades?

Created by The Static that couldn't be contained.

Explore. Reflect. Connect.

Escape Your Tomb.

Thank you for listening to From the Tomb with Cadoom — where we examine the evidence, question the unknown, and explore the shadows of Paranormal, True Crime, True Mysteries, Conspiracies, and Cryptids.

Tune in next week, Wednesday at 7:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, for a brand new descent into the unknown.
