In just the last several months, de-extinction — bringing back extinct species by recreating them or organisms that resemble ...

To create the woolly mice, Colossal began by analysing 121 mammoth and elephant genomes, including those for Asian and African elephants. Comparing the genomes, the scientists identified the core ...

A high-tech company is confident that extinct beasts as far back as the ice age — like the woolly mammoth — can be resurrected by 2028, all thanks to a bankroll by Hollywood A-listers like ...

With a skin sample from a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth, scientists are gaining new insights into what made the animals tick. The findings could also help controversial de-extinction efforts.

The Colossal Biosciences woolly mouse Colossal Biosciences. In their latest work, Colossal researchers analyzed the genomes of 62 elephants and 59 mammoths—dating back between 1,200,000 and ...

The quest to resurrect the woolly mammoth has taken another step forward, with the creation of the Colossal Woolly Mouse. The lab-made rodents have been genetically altered to possess key physical ...

Then, they cut and paste mammoth genes into elephant DNA, and raise the engineered cells in a surrogate, which leads to a mammoth calf. Pictured is Colossal's "woolly mouse" next to a wild-type mouse.

Rather than creating a mammoth from the jump, an experiment which involves a 22-month gestation period, the folks at Colossal elected to test their pipeline through the creation of the woolly mouse.

Colossal Biosciences has taken a massive step forward in its quest to revive the woolly mammoth by creating a genetically engineered woolly mouse. The new offshoot of the species looks just like ...

Hoping to bring the giant, ancient animal back from extinction, scientists have created a far smaller woolly creature. Woolly mice have some of the key traits of mammoths, including their thick ...

Scientists at the Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences have taken a small step towards their goal of bringing back the woolly mammoth: they've created the woolly mouse ...
