This will help move toward a complete de novo assembled mammoth genome, which could reveal features of the genome that might be relevant to mammoth de-extinction," Eriona Hysolli, who leads a project ...

The woolly mammoth is probably the single most iconic extinct mammal, leading to seemingly never-ending efforts to resurrect it. To do that, however, scientists will need a good understanding of their ...

Sequencing mammoth DNA has already helped scientists map out how these Ice Age giants evolved, migrated, and survived. But there's a hidden layer of history still waiting to be decoded – the microbes ...

Bringing "Jurassic Park" one step closer to reality, scientists have deciphered much of the genetic code of the woolly mammoth, a feat they say could allow them to recreate the shaggy, prehistoric ...

Ben Lamm, the CEO and co-founder of the technology firm Colossal Biosciences, does not want to play favorites with the company’s various de-extinction projects. One look around a newly finished ...

A new study in Genome Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, resurrected the mutated genes of the last herd of woolly mammoths and found that their small population had developed ...

Researchers at Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences rely on ancient DNA from extinct species and the genome of their closest living relatives to determine how they can be brought back. Why it matters: ...

Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences, which has produced a trio of modern-day dire wolves and the woolly mouse, seeks to bring back extinct species.
