To create the woolly mouse, scientists analyzed the genetic instructions, or genomes, of 121 mammoth and elephant samples to identify genes that may have given woolly mammoths some of their ...

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 ...

Biotech company Colossal, which is attempting to bring back the woolly mammoth, has reached a milestone − and a very cute one at that: the woolly mouse. The Colossal Woolly Mouse, born in ...

A company that has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in an effort to ‘de-extinct’ woolly mammoths and other animals has claimed a breakthrough in its quest: the creation of hairier mice.

And in the controversial battle to bring the woolly mammoth back from extinction, scientists have just taken one mouse-sized step forward. Colossal Biosciences has revealed the world's first ...

The quest to resurrect the woolly mammoth on Earth has taken another, well, small step with the creation of the Colossal Woolly Mouse. The lab-engineered rodents have seven genes that have been ...
