Scientists have made a leap in genetic engineering by pushing elephant cells into an embryonic-like state. This marks a major step toward recreating traits of the extinct woolly mammoth, offering new ...
New fossil and genetic evidence shows that woolly and Columbian mammoths were not just distant cousins roaming separate parts of Ice Age North America — they were interbreeding for tens of thousands ...
The start-up Colossal Biosciences aims to use gene-editing technology to bring back the woolly mammoth and other extinct species. Recently, the company achieved major milestones: last year, they ...
CINCINNATI (WKRC/CNN Newsource) - Scientists said they are one step closer to bringing back the woolly mammoth with the creation of the "woolly mouse," a genetically-modified rodent with traits ...
Pictured are two of Colossal's "woolly mice". Dallas-based biotech startup Colossal aims to bring the woolly mammoth back from extinction through genetic engineering. As part of that process, the ...
To save elephant populations from extinction, the international community banned the sale of their ivory — but selling mammoth ivory remains legal, and the two are difficult to tell apart, especially ...
Colossus Bioscience creation of the woolly mice Tuesday in a news release and posted a scientific paper online detailing the achievement. Scientists implanted genetically modified embryos in female ...
Mammoth species in North America repeatedly interbred over thousands of years, creating hybrid offspring, a new fossil analysis has revealed. The findings alter what we know about the evolution of ...
With its long, fluffy coat and golden hue, you might be forgiven for thinking this was some kind of exotic hamster from the Siberian wastelands. In fact, this is the world’s first “woolly mouse”, a ...
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 ...
Selling elephant ivory—a hard white material from elephant tusks, for which elephants are often killed—is illegal. Selling ivory collected from the remains of extinct Mammoths, however, is—somehow—not ...
