The Trump administration has been slashing funding for a federal agency that supports biomedical research across the U.S. UT Austin professors say funding from the National Institutes of Health is essential for running their labs.

Colossal Biosciences says it used novel gene-editing technology to alter gray wolf DNA to breed the animals. Dire wolves recently featured prominently in the HBO series Game of Thrones.

A new policy for how the National Institutes of Health will reimburse overhead costs associated with research grants could result in the loss of significant funding at institutions like UT Austin.

The Trump administration directed federal health officials to pause external communications last week, which prompted the National Institutes of Health to cancel meetings used to determine which research to fund. A UT professor has said if the pause lasts too long, it will be hard to reverse the impact.

The research team behind the discovery has filed a patent in anticipation of using the antibody to manufacture COVID-19 treatments.
