Scientists are venturing into the realm of de-extinction, aiming to revive the woolly mammoth using advanced genetic ...

This week, the world met the woolly “mammouse”—a genetically engineered mouse with woolly mammoth hair. The scientists at Colossal Biosciences who created it think it’s a promising step toward their ...

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 ...

Colossal Biosciences engineered mice with long, woolly hair by editing seven genes. Scientists see potential for conservation but doubt true "de-extinction." The company may apply the technique to ...

Scientists working to unlock the secrets of de-extinction recently announced what they say is a turning point for the movement: the creation of transgenic mice with long, luxurious golden locks of ...

The company first unveiled its plan to “de-extinct” the woolly mammoth using genetic editing and surrogacy and return it to the tundra equipped with the biological traits that will allow it to thrive ...

We tend to lump all mammoths together as big, hairy elephant-like beasts with enormous tusks. But there were a number of mammoth species, including less furry ones that inhabited temperate regions.

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 ...

Hoping to bring the giant, ancient animal back from extinction, scientists have created a far smaller woolly creature. Woolly mice have some of... Hoping to revive mammoths, scientists create 'woolly ...
