Now, scientists have published incredible findings from a Siberian mammoth they've named Yuka, revealing that they've found mostly intact RNA that can be dated to around 40,000 years old. It's an ...

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 ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have extracted and sequenced the oldest known RNA molecules in the world ( Cell 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2025.10.025). The ancient RNA (aRNA) comes from skin and ...

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 ...

Extinction is typically for good. Once a species winks out, it survives only in memory and the fossil record. When it comes to the woolly mammoth, however, that rule has now been bent. It’s been 4,000 ...

Biotech company Colossal, which is attempting to bring back the woolly mammoth, has reached a milestone − and a very cute one at that: the woolly mouse. The Colossal Woolly Mouse, born in October 2024 ...

A woolly mammoth that lived and died nearly 40,000 years ago has given us a spectacular scientific first, millennia later.

Researchers say they have recovered RNA from the remains of a woolly mammoth that lived roughly 39,000 years ago.

Resurrecting extinct creatures — it may sound like science fiction. Or maybe it reminds you of a familiar ’90s flick? While the fictitious “Jurassic Park” notably does not have a picture-perfect ...

This week, the world met the woolly “mammouse”—a genetically engineered mouse with woolly mammoth hair. The scientists at Colossal Biosciences who created it think it’s a promising step toward their ...
