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

Company creates 'woolly mouse' in quest to bring back mammoths. Turns out, it's really cute. "They are much cuter than we thought they would be," Ben Lamm, co-founder and CEO of Colossal, told USA ...

Woolly mammoths had a truncated version of a gene called TGF alpha, as well as a mutation in the keratin gene KRT27, which the scientists incorporated into woolly mouse DNA.

It’s one small step for mice, one giant leap for mammoth-kind. Scientists endeavoring to “de-extinct” woolly mammoths through genetic modification have taken a meaningful step toward ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
