Then, they cut and paste mammoth genes into elephant DNA, and raise the engineered cells in a surrogate, which leads to a mammoth calf. Pictured is Colossal's "woolly mouse" next to a wild-type mouse.

The journey to the woolly mouse began with the woolly mammoth. Scientists at Colossal examined more than 100 genomes of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths.

Colossal Biosciences, which aims to "de-extinct" woolly mammoths through genetic modification, have taken a meaningful step toward achieving its goal — creating an entirely new species called ...
