The genetically-engineered mice possess key mammoth-like traits that can adapt to cold environments. CEO Ben Lamm will speak at South by Southwest Conference and Festivals in Austin this week ...

The Colossal Woolly Mouse, as they're calling it, is the result of gene editing that integrates some of the mammoth's cold weather features ... of "Deal or No Deal Island." During the conversation ...

Woolly mammoths had a slightly shorter version of the gene, which the researchers believe may have contributed to its adaptation to life in cold climates. However, the “woolly mice” with the ...

As part of its effort to engineer mammoth-like elephants, Colossal and its collaborators are working to find gene variants that contributed to key mammoth traits, such as shaggy hair, cold ...

but Colossal scientists say they will test this in the coming months. "We know that the edits are in there, so now we just need to test what level of cold tolerance it confers," Lamm said.

Scientists with the company Colossal have created genetically engineered "woolly mice" with thick, golden-brown hair and fat deposits similar to those of cold-adapted woolly mammoths.

Colossal Biosciences believes the woolly coat will enable its genetically engineered mice to survive in cold climates. Still, the company must first obtain approval from the Institutional Animal ...

The next step: Seeing if the mice can handle cold better than standard mice. If so, those genes would be proven helpful in the woolly mammoth's return. Colossal is consulting with its ethics board ...

Lamm said Colossal Bioscientists’ next hopes to experiment to determine the ability of the mice to withstand cold temperatures.

The last woolly mammoth died on a remote island in the Arctic Ocean around 3,500 years ago ... All this talk of resurrecting extinct species might bring to mind a certain film franchise. Sadly, ...

Co-Founder and CEO of Colossal Biosciences. "By engineering multiple cold-tolerant traits from mammoth evolutionary pathways into a living model species, we've proven our ability to recreate ...

Dallas and Boston-based Colossal Biosciences is has engineered key mammoth-like traits into the mice so they can adapt to life in cold climates. This means the company is making strides in the ...
