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 ...

Scientists have genetically engineered mice with some key characteristics of an extinct animal that was far larger — the woolly mammoth. This "woolly mouse" marks an important step toward achieving ...

It’s tiny, but this lab mouse could have a mammoth impact. With curly whiskers and wavy, light hair that grows three times longer than that of an ordinary lab mouse, the genetically modified rodent ...

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 achieving their ...

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 ...

In the early 1990s, Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg brought the concept of de-extinction to the masses with Jurassic Park. Today, the franchise lives on with this summer's Jurassic World Rebirth ...

Although scientists say the woolly mouse project won’t go on indefinitely, don’t worry – there’s already people from the team waiting to adopt them Susan Young is a reporter for PEOPLE. She started ...
