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;

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,

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

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.

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

US biotechnology company Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences has a radical proposal: it wants to resurrect the woolly mammoth from extinction. In a preprint paper published on March 4, scientists at Colossal report making a significant step towards this objective.

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.
