We will discover new tools, new ways that we can help species that are still alive but in danger of becoming extinct.” ...

They have recently unveiled their genetically modified creations known as 'woolly mice', mice that have been engineered to exhibit traits reminiscent of the long-extinct woolly mammoth. This article ...

Where there are people, there are mice. This pretty well summarizes the millennia-old relationship between man and mouse. Few species have benefited from humans as much as the house mouse, Mus ...

However, the "woolly mice" with the mammoth-style variant of FABP2 did not show significant differences in body mass compared to regular lab mice. What would it mean to de-extinct a species? This work ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is ...

The study showed that mice reacting to unconscious peers acted instinctively in an emergency rather than out of curiosity.

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

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.

Compared with our distant cousins the reptiles, the faces of mammals are made more complex by a protruding nose that is separate from the upper jaw. While mice are commonly used as a model ...

Colossal Biosciences leaders say the fluffy, golden-haired mice help validate their technique to “de-extinct” species, but ...
