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 ...
US biotechnology company Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences has a radical proposal: it wants to resurrect the woolly ...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Extinction is still forever, but scientists at the biotech company Colossal Biosciences are trying what they say is the next best thing to restoring ancient beasts — genetically ...
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 ...
Researchers at Stockholm University recovered intact RNA molecules – the chemical messengers that reveal which genes were active – from a 39,000-year-old male mammoth named Yuka. The breakthrough, ...
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 ...
The oldest RNA ever reported until now came from a 14,300-year-old “wolf” puppy frozen in permafrost. But when Mármol-Sánchez ...
After successfully resurrecting dire wolves, scientists are optimistic about the potential return of the extinct woolly mammoth. These prehistoric creatures, which National Geographic states roamed ...
Researchers at Stockholm University have extracted and sequenced the oldest known RNA molecules in the world ( Cell 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2025.10.025). The ancient RNA (aRNA) comes from skin and ...
