Scientists have made a leap in genetic engineering by pushing elephant cells into an embryonic-like state. This marks a major ...
Could the Woolly Mammoth and Tasmanian Tiger roam the Earth again? We take a look at how scientists are using genetic ...
Mammoths (Mammuthus) are prehistoric beasts that roamed tundra ecosystems during the last ice age (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago), but their evolutionary history goes back farther than that.
The mice were created by Colossal Biosciences, which edits DNA for species conservation, and has been working to bring back the woolly mammoth since 2021.
Scientists created transgenic mice with woolly mammoth–like traits. But does it really bring us closer to bringing back woolly mammoths?
The other seven had been previously identified to cause hair variation ... more likely to generate a mammoth-like Asian elephant than something exactly like the ice age creature.
