Colossal Biosciences just engineered woolly-haired mice in a step toward reviving extinct animals like the woolly mammoth—here's what it means.

Colossal Biosciences has focused on identifying key traits of extinct animals by studying ancient DNA, with a goal to genetically "engineer them into living animals," said CEO Ben Lamm.

WASHINGTON — Extinction is still forever, but scientists at the biotech company Colossal Biosciences are trying what they say is the next best thing to restoring ancient beasts — genetically ...

After an intense study of the mammoth's genetic code, scientists have engineered 'woolly' mice with altered fur thickness, color, and texture to recreate the extinct elephant's adaptations to the cold ...

Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences announced the birth of the “Colossal Woolly Mouse,” genetically engineered mice that express certain ...

Extinction is still forever. But scientists at a biotech company are trying what they say is the next best thing to restoring ancient beasts.

The little rodents' genes were edited to exhibit traits associated with a woolly mammoth genome—including fluffy, dirty-blonde fur.
