Scientists at biotech company Colossal Biosciences were able to produce genetically modified mice, a successful feat in their ongoing conservation and de-extinction efforts.

Colossal Biosciences, known for its outlandish goal to resurrect the woolly mammoth by 2028, is claiming steady progress. Its evidence: genetically

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.

Colossal Biosciences, a Texas-based company, genetically engineered a woolly mouse, marking an achievement toward its goal of resurrecting extinct species like the woolly mammoth. The woolly mouse is a tiny mammal engineered to express multiple mammoth-like traits,

Scientists working to bring back the woolly mammoth have created genetically engineered mice that they say have several features of the extinct ice age giant.

Dallas-based Colossal is one step closer to bringing back the woolly mammoth.

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

Using DNA and genomics technologies, scientists have modified the mice to have longer, thicker hair and an altered metabolism expected to allow them to tolerate colder temperatures, Colossal Biosciences said.

Colossal Biosciences has engineered mice with mammoth-like traits for living in cold climates. These mice have wavy, golden coats and could be plumper.

Speaking at the Fast Company Grill, CEO Ben Lamm talked about the broad-reaching implications of the company’s genetic research. It was a busy week for Colossal Biosciences: On Tuesday, it introduced the world to the first-ever woolly mice;
