Wooly mice are undeniably cute, and a step toward UCSC Professor Beth Shapiro's goal of creating tools that will allow us to alter species to be more resilient during our current mass-extinction crisis.

🧠 Your brain could be more plastic (changeable) than we thought! The brain is made up of subtypes of neurons, and a new study by the Braingeneers has demonstrated one subtype is able to change into another, something that was believed to be impossible. news.ucsc.edu/2025/03/mostaj…

Even though UCSC is a state school, MOST of our research on neurological disorders, cancer, rare disease, and other health conditions is federally funded. We are so grateful to the taxpayers who support this work, because we have seen it save livesā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ #StandUpForScience

A new scholarly preprint on ancient dire wolf genomes conducted by Colossal, UCSC, and other collaborators shows the dire wolf is the result of interbreeding between two separate species -- a rare pathway for evolution to take. news.ucsc.edu/2025/04/dire-w…

While ā€œblood cloningā€ sounds like something out of a sci-fi thriller, it’s actually a non-invasive cloning technique we developed during the dire wolf project. It could benefit countless endangered species. Full video here youtube.com/watch?v=uZP_Ka…

Not every bit of DNA helps a species survive. Parasite- like genetic elements called introns hide in DNA and make copies of themselves, and recent UCSC research has provided the first proof that they are able to hop from one species to another: news.ucsc.edu/2025/05/selfis…
