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 ...

In the early 1990s, Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg brought the concept of de-extinction to the masses with Jurassic Park. Today, the franchise lives on with this summer's Jurassic World Rebirth ...

In a lab far from the woolly mammoth’s icy plains, researchers from Colossal Biosciences have successfully brought a tiny “woolly mouse” to life. Here’s what it could mean for de-extinction. A tiny, ...

A woolly mouse, a breed created by scientists using genetic engineering. The development is a first step toward reviving a version of the extinct woolly mammoth. Scientists have genetically engineered ...

It’s one small step for mice, one giant leap for mammoth-kind. Scientists endeavoring to “de-extinct” woolly mammoths through genetic modification have taken a meaningful step toward achieving their ...

Scientists have sequenced RNA from a nearly 40,000-year-old woolly mammoth leg, the oldest ancient RNA ever recovered. These ...

In just the last several months, de-extinction — bringing back extinct species by recreating them or organisms that resemble them — has moved closer from science fiction to science fact. Colossal ...

Scientists have genetically engineered mice with some key characteristics of an extinct animal that was far larger — the woolly mammoth. This "woolly mouse" marks an important step toward achieving ...
