The lab mice, which have been modified to have shaggy fur and golden coats, are a demonstration of the kind of gene edits that the company hopes to perform on a much larger scale, modifying Asian ...

Scientists at Colossal Biosciences have genetically engineered woolly mice with mammoth-like fur, marking a major step toward woolly mammoth de-extinction. A biotechnology breakthrough has brought the ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.

Songbird nests are being contaminated by insecticides applied to pets. The compounds frequently found in shampoos, spot-on treatments or impregnated collar flea treatments for cats and dogs were ...

Colossal Biosciences engineered mice with long, woolly hair by editing seven genes. Scientists see potential for conservation but doubt true "de-extinction." The company may apply the technique to ...

Gene Hackman's wife's cause of death was revealed Friday as hantavirus, a rare and sometimes fatal illness that can be present in Northern Nevada.

Biotechnology has just taken a surprising step forward with the creation of genetically modified mice, featuring thick, golden fur reminiscent of woolly mammoths. These rodents, designed by Colossal ...

Other target genes included MC1R (melanocortin 1 receptor), which regulates melanin production, in order to produce mice with golden hair rather than the usual dark fur and a variant associated ...
