After an intense study of the mammoth's genetic code, scientists have engineered 'woolly' mice with altered fur thickness, color, and texture to recreate the extinct elephant's adaptations to the cold ...

The creation of a woolly-mouse embryo marks a significant leap in the field of de-extinction, bringing us one step closer to reviving the iconic woolly mammoth. By combining advanced gene-editing ...

Imagine a world where enormous woolly mammoths still roamed the frozen tundra, their long tusks sweeping through the snow as they trudged across ancient grasslands. These Ice Age giants once shaped ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Colossal Biosciences aims to rewrite history as they work to resurrect extinct species – and their sights are set on the woolly ...

The fate of the woolly mammoth is a story shaped by survival, isolation, and one final mystery still unsolved. Once scattered across the sweeping tundras of the Ice Age, these towering animals thrived ...

Colossal Biosciences caught our imagination – and elicited memories of "Jurassic Park" – when the Dallas-based biotech company announced back in 2021 it would use cutting-edge genetics editing ...

In a lab far from the woolly mammoth’s icy plains, researchers from Colossal Biosciences have successfully brought a tiny “woolly mouse” to life. Here’s what it could mean for de-extinction. A tiny, ...

In just the last several months, de-extinction—bringing back extinct species by recreating them or organisms that resemble them—has moved closer from science fiction to science fact. Colossal ...

Two fossil bones long tagged as woolly mammoth have now been confirmed as whales after tests overturned their museum label.

Colossal Biosciences aims to rewrite history as they work to resurrect extinct species – and their sights are set on the woolly mammoth and the dodo. Earlier this year, Colossal – co-founded by Ben ...
