Mammoth populations collapsed when temperatures rose and humans advanced. The final isolated groups disappeared from Arctic islands about 4,000 years ago. Saber-Toothed Cat (Smilodon fatalis) ...

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 ...

Scientists at Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences developed mice with the traits of a woolly mammoth they're calling "woolly mice." The company wants to de-extinct actual woolly mammoths by 2028.

To create the woolly mouse, scientists analyzed the genetic instructions, or genomes, of 121 mammoth and elephant samples to identify genes that may have given woolly mammoths some of their ...

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 ...

Mammoth popularity Woolly mammoths are at the forefront of these controversial de-extinction efforts. Despite a deep bench of more recently extinct species — the dodo, the moa, passenger pigeons ...

Colossal Biosciences, a startup trying to bring the prehistoric mammoth back from extinction, said it has achieved a first step: the Woolly Mouse. Using DNA and genomics technologies, scientists ...
