Woolly Mice: A Genetic Step Towards Mammoth De-Extinction

Could we bring back the woolly mammoth? Scientists at Colossal Biosciences have taken a major step toward de-extinction-by engineering woolly, cold-adapted mice using CRISPR gene editing! These genetically modified mice carry key mammoth-like traits, including thick, curly fur and altered fat metabolism, proving that we can prototype Ice Age adaptations in living animals. In this video, we explore: 🔬 How CRISPR was used to edit multiple genes at once (Fgf5, Fam83g, Mc1r, and more) 🐭 Why mice are the perfect test subjects for mammoth de-extinction research ❄️ The potential to revive Arctic ecosystems with cold-resistant "mammophants" ⚖️ The ethical debate-should we bring back extinct species? This groundbreaking study bridges the gap between ancient DNA and modern genetic engineering, offering hope for conservation-and maybe even a future with woolly mammoths! 💬 What do YOU think? Should we revive the woolly mammoth? Let's discuss in the comments! 📖 Read the full study here: R. Chen et al. Multiplex-edited mice recapitulate woolly mammoth hair phenotypes. bioRxiv.org.
