The Latest Breaking News from Colossal Biosciences

Gene-editing technology could bring back long-lost species

Scientists are getting very close to bringing a few iconic species, like woolly mammoths and dodos, back from extinction. That may not be a good thing.

De-extinction, the science of resurrecting extinct species, is progressing in leaps and bounds. Here are six creatures that researchers could bring back to life — and one they've already revived.

In a revolutionary approach, scientists are hoping that modifying the marsupial’s genes to resist cane toads’ toxin will save it from extinction

Colossal Biosciences explain the complex science behind ‘de-extinction’ and reveal their target date for the first woolly mammoth calf.

"This is probably the most significant step in the early stages of this project," said George Church, a geneticist at Harvard University. The post “I’ve Seen Jurassic Park”: Skepticism After Biotech Firm Edges Closer To Resurrecting Mammoths first appeared on Bored Panda.

Colossal Biosciences advances in de-extincting woolly mammoth through reprogrammed elephant stem cells.

Scientists at the company Colossal Biosciences have derived induced pluripotent stem cells from elephants, which they say could boost efforts to resurrect woolly mammoths.

Jurassic Park, the 1993 film about dinosaurs, is a cultural tour de force. Not only did the film herald a new era in computer-generated movie effects, it also revived the field of paleontology. And if that wasn’t enough, it raised questions about the ethics of DNA research.
