Colossal has made headlines again by genetically editing mice to possess traits similar to wooly mammoths, particularly their hair. This project's aim is to establish a new platform for testing genetic variants associated with mammoths and could inform more extensive de-extinction efforts in the future. However, the scientific community has shown mixed reactions, with some experts expressing skepticism about the significance of creating a 'mouse with mammoth genes.' Nevertheless, the progress has attracted the interest of investors aligned with Colossal's long-term mission to revive extinct species.
Colossal scientists edited the genes of mice to emulate mammoth hair, aiming to advance methods for de-extinction, despite skepticism from some researchers.
The study showcases a rapid platform for testing genetic variants related to wooly mammoths while also enhancing complex genetic model generation.
