・Key experiment: Introduction of the Sox2 gene from choanoflagellates to replace the Sox2 gene in mouse cells. ・Key outcome: The cells were successfully reprogrammed into stem cells ...

I n a stunning breakthrough, scientists have successfully engineered a living mouse using a gene that predates animal life by hundreds of millions of years. This study, published in Nature ...

Colossal Biosciences has focused on identifying key traits of extinct animals by studying ancient DNA, with a goal to genetically "engineer them into living animals," said CEO Ben Lamm.

On Tuesday, Colossal announced that its scientists have simultaneously edited seven genes in mice embryos to create mice with long, thick, woolly hair. They nicknamed the extra-furry rodents as the ...

Colossal Woolly Mouse. "I'm excited," Beth Shapiro, Chief Science Officer at Colossal, tells PEOPLE, explaining that this is "really our first validation" that they actually can create living ...

The genetically-engineered mice possess key mammoth-like traits that can adapt to cold environments. CEO Ben Lamm will speak at South by Southwest Conference and Festivals in Austin this week ...

The implications of this breakthrough extend beyond the laboratory. Not only is the Colossal Woolly Mouse the first living animal engineered to express multiple cold-adapted traits using mammoth ...

But in his lab at Boston University, biologist and biomedical engineer Jerry Chen has developed a technique that allows researchers to do both, mapping neurons within a living mouse’s brain and then ...
