Colossal Biosciences successfully replicates the color, texture, and thickness of woolly mammoth hair, with conditions to adapt to extreme cold: "This marks a pivotal moment in our de-extinction ...

Two of the three mammoth-associated genes (Krt27 and Tgfa) have previously been linked to hair texture, based on comparisons with Asian elephants.

Colossal Biosciences has focused on identifying key traits of extinct animals by studying ancient DNA, with a goal to genetically "engineer them into living animals," said CEO Ben Lamm.

Scientists working to bring back the woolly mammoth have created genetically engineered mice that they say have several features of the extinct ice age giant.

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 looking to bring the extinct woolly mammoth back to life have made adorable progress—using gene editing to create a "woolly mouse." The team at genetics and biotech firm Colossal ...

Scientists created transgenic mice with woolly mammoth–like traits. But does it really bring us closer to bringing back woolly mammoths?
