Instead of dinosaurs, Colossal has set its sights on more recently lost species including the dodo, the thylacine — also known as the Tasmanian tiger– and the woolly mammoth. The last ...

Colossal Biosciences is working to bring back species like the woolly mammoth using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The project aims to restore lost biodiversity and combat climate change by creating cold ...

“Our goal is to build an end-to-end scientific pipeline for de-extinction,” says Eriona Hysolli, who heads Colossal’s biology division and leads its woolly mammoth project. “People are ...

Researchers have been trying to clone new mammoths for years. This breakthrough could mean a surprising turn for the climate crisis: if the cloned woolly mammoths were released into the Arctic ...

While the woolly mammoth project garners most of the attention, Colossal’s work on the dodo and Tasmanian tiger underscores the broader implications of de-extinction. The dodo, a flightless bird ...

Imagine a world where the majestic woolly mammoth roams the Arctic tundra once ... process that requires blending genetic engineering, cloning, and some of the most advanced techniques in ...

In the last three years, Colossal’s first major project to be announced, the woolly mammoth project, generated new genomic resources, made breakthroughs in cell biology and genome engineering ...

what project would you be working on,” says Lamm. “Without skipping a beat, he said he’d work to bring back the woolly mammoth.” Changes in genetic editing technology, where DNA molecules ...

An ancient skeleton of a woolly mammoth has sold for €548,000 (£483,000; $640,000) at auction in the French city of Lyon. The skeleton, which exceeded its estimated value, is thought to be the ...

Colossal Biosciences is in the cell-editing phase of the woolly mammoth project. Scientists are editing mammoth genes obtained from ancient DNA samples found in frozen tundra and inserting these ...
