Scientists are pushing the boundaries of genetic engineering with an ambitious plan to resurrect the woolly mammoth by 2028.

“Our goal is to build an end-to-end scientific pipeline for de-extinction,” says Eriona Hysolli, who heads Colossal’s biology division and leads its woolly mammoth project. “People are ...

Professor Alice Roberts reveals the natural history of the most famous of ice age animals - the woolly mammoth. Mammoths have transfixed humans since the depths of the last ice age, when their ...

But Tom van der Valk, a geneticist at the Centre for Palaeogenetics in Sweden, says that by focusing on these single point mutations, “you get a potentially limited view of all the genes that may have ...

A superior incisor belonging to a woolly mammoth, contemporary with Homo sapiens populations, was discovered in a ravine in Romania. The incisor represents the largest piece of paleofauna in the ...

The woolly mammoth, a giant that roamed the icy expanses of the planet during the Pleistocene epoch, became extinct around 4,000 years ago and is at the center of Colossal’s mission. It’s a ...

Woolly mammoth meat hasn't been on the menu for at least 5,000 years. A lab-grown meat company called Vow recently appeared to put the option back on the table by creating a "mammoth meatball ...

Woolly Mammoth Theatre is celebrating its 45th year and is also marking 20 years in its D Street NW building. It’s hard to imagine something more fitting for Woolly Mammoth Theatre’s stage ...

When did the woolly mammoth go extinct? Scientists have long believed that woolly mammoths died out some 13,000 years ago. But a new study suggests that they survived much longer. In a study ...

Colossal Biosciences is working to bring back species like the woolly mammoth using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The project aims to restore lost biodiversity and combat climate change by creating cold ...
