US biotechnology company Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences has a radical proposal: it wants to resurrect the woolly mammoth from extinction. In a preprint paper published on March 4 ...

These little creatures are called woolly mice. They were created in a lab crossing woolly mammoth DNA with that of a lab mouse. Colossal Biosciences, the Dallas-based biotechnology company that ...

Rather than creating a mammoth from the jump, an experiment which involves a 22-month gestation period, the folks at Colossal elected to test their pipeline through the creation of the woolly mouse.

Buried in the DNA of the long extinct woolly mammoth is a compound that scientists hope will one day yield a lifesaving antibiotic. In experiments, mammuthusin, as the compound is called, has ...

Efforts to revive the woolly mammoth—an Ice Age giant that disappeared around 4,000 years ago—have made steady progress, driven largely by advances in genetic engineering and ancient DNA research.

W e have the dire wolf again. Thanks to the heroic work of Colossal Biosciences, the canine species that went extinct more than 10,000 years ago has been revived in a stunning act of so-called de ...

The biotech company Colossal Biosciences has long aspired to bring back the extinct woolly mammoth, which roamed the Northern Hemisphere thousands of years ago, during the last ice age.

The startup then uses AI to analyze samples of woolly mammoth DNA, including some well-preserved samples from Alaska and Siberia, ranging from "about 3,500 years old to about 700,000 years old ...

Colossal Biosciences, a startup trying to bring the prehistoric mammoth back from extinction, said it has achieved a first step: the Woolly Mouse. Using DNA and genomics technologies, scientists ...

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 ...

"Our team took DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies," the company noted.
