Scientists have obtained high-quality woolly mammoth DNA sequences from carcasses preserved in Siberian permafrost. These genomes (the full complement of DNA in the cell) have allowed scientists to ...

Experiments on mice could see hairy, genetically modified elephants living in the Arctic, a US company claims.

Some of the oldest mammoth fossils have been hidden in the permafrost for centuries. Today the permafrost is rapidly thawing as a result of climate change, and fossils are washing into the Adycha ...

Like woolly mammoths, these mice have curlier hair — which is the same color of the mammoth mummies found in the permafrost — as well as a gene that should impact the way their bodies ...

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.

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. But for now, ...

Exclusive: Colossal CEO Ben Lamm considers the similarities between their efforts to bring back the woolly mammoth with Michael Crichton’s worst fears in Jurassic Park.

When it comes to the woolly mammoth, however ... means that its DNA has been preserved in multiple remains embedded in permafrost. For its de-extinction project, Colossal collected the genomes ...
