Scientists created transgenic mice with woolly mammoth–like traits. But does it really bring us closer to bringing back woolly mammoths?

One mouse, extra furry “Wooly mice” a test run for mammoth gene editing With most targeted changes not mammoth-specific, the focus is on gene editing.

Though woolly mammoths, a.k.a. cold-tolerant elephant-mammoth hybrids, are still a ways off, the two woolly mice leapfrogging each other in a tank in Dallas are small breakthroughs for Colossal.

Scientists compare woolly mammoth and elephant DNA to find 'key genes' which help mammoths adapt to the cold. These genes are then engineered into the DNA of mice. Genetically engineered mouse ...

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.

Experiments on mice could see hairy, genetically modified elephants living in the Arctic, a US company claims.

So, was old Pliny onto something? Are elephants afraid of mice? According to the Global Sanctuary For Elephants, there was once a grim theory that a mouse could crawl up an elephant’s trunk.
