GenoMorph: AI for Dodo De-Extinction

PR Campaign
Wednesday 14th October, 2026

Colossal Biosciences introduced GenoMorph, an AI platform designed to identify promising gene-editing targets for its dodo project, despite having just one dodo genome to study. The hook was a striking claim: the system has already surfaced around 2,300 potential edits, with the company also sharing progress on testing them in bird embryos.

Why it worked: It turned a moonshot into a measurable sprint: exclusive AI tool + hard numbers (2,300 edits) + near-term lab validation created urgency.

The lesson: Consider offering an exclusive, quantified first-look at a tool unlocking a known bottleneck, plus a concrete next experiment journalists can track.

What is this?

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan lots of different news sources and use AI to spot the campaigns behind the stories, and show you which ones are getting the most traction right now. Think of it as a live leaderboard of what's working in PR.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.
