The company says that the genetic variations in the new woolly mouse are already present in some living mice. However, this is the first time they’ve all been combined into a single mouse.

WASHINGTON -- Extinction is still forever, but scientists at the biotech company Colossal Biosciences are trying what they say is the next best thing to restoring ancient beasts - genetically ...

To create the woolly mouse, Colossal said it had identified genetic variants in which mammoths differed from their closest living relative: the Asian elephant. The company’s scientists then ...
