In the early 1990s, Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg brought the concept of de-extinction to the masses with Jurassic Park. Today, the franchise lives on with this summer's Jurassic World Rebirth ...

Scientists have genetically engineered mice with some key characteristics of an extinct animal that was far larger — the woolly mammoth. This "woolly mouse" marks an important step toward achieving ...

After an intense study of the mammoth's genetic code, scientists have engineered 'woolly' mice with altered fur thickness, color, and texture to recreate the extinct elephant's adaptations to the cold ...

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 ...

A woolly mouse compared with a normal mouse, at Colossal Biosciences labs. Editor at Large Extinction is typically for good. Once a species winks out, it survives only in memory and the fossil record.

It’s one small step for mice, one giant leap for mammoth-kind. Scientists endeavoring to “de-extinct” woolly mammoths through genetic modification have taken a meaningful step toward achieving their ...

Although scientists say the woolly mouse project won’t go on indefinitely, don’t worry – there’s already people from the team waiting to adopt them Susan Young is a reporter for PEOPLE. She started ...
