Scientists have made a leap in genetic engineering by pushing elephant cells into an embryonic-like state. This marks a major step toward recreating traits of the extinct woolly mammoth, offering new ...

Researchers say they have developed a new way to distinguish between legal mammoth ivory and illegal elephant ivory. Elephant ivory is often passed off as mammoth ivory when being imported. As the ...

Elephants are plagued by the same deadly bacteria that infected mammoths, genetic experts have found. A study of mammoth ...

Woolly mammoths went extinct around 4,000 years ago, but scientists claim America will soon see the prehistoric animal in 2028. Colossal Biosciences, a Texas-based biotechnology and genetic ...

Scientists found million-year-old microbial DNA in mammoths, revealing ancient infections and host-microbe relationships.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Colossal Biosciences (“Colossal”), the world’s first de-extinction company, announces today that their Woolly Mammoth team has achieved a global-first iPSC (induced ...

An analysis of the bones and teeth of ancient mammoths (Mammuthus) has identified some of the microorganisms that lived in ...

A new tool to detect elephant tusks disguised as legal mammoth ivory has been deployed in the battle against poaching. Stable isotope analysis developed by wildlife forensic scientists can tell apart ...

To save elephant populations from extinction, the international community banned the sale of their ivory — but selling mammoth ivory remains legal, and the two are difficult to tell apart, especially ...

Colossal Biosciences engineered mice with long, woolly hair by editing seven genes. Scientists see potential for conservation but doubt true "de-extinction." The company may apply the technique to ...

Colossus Bioscience creation of the woolly mice Tuesday in a news release and posted a scientific paper online detailing the achievement. Scientists implanted genetically modified embryos in female ...
