☆ Can the woolly mammoth really be resurrected? Scientists take a small step closer

The stem cells will also make it easier for conservation scientists to study the Asian elephant’s unique biology.

Courtesy ColossalEngineering a woolly mammoth hybridThe elephant stem cells also hold the key to the mammoth’s rebirth. The research team at Colossal has already analyzed the genomes of 53 woolly mammoths from ancient DNA recovered from fossils. The number of modifications needed to make an Asian elephant resistant to the cold would be broadly similar, he said.

☆ $1.5 billion startup says it's getting close to bringing the woolly mammoth back from the dead with elephant cells
  + stars: | 2024-03-07 | by ( Marianne Guenot | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Read previewThe startup that wants to bring the woolly mammoth back from the dead said it is inching closer to its goal after a breakthrough in creating reprogrammed elephant stem cells. These include bringing back the woolly mammoth and the dodo. But elephant stem cells remained remarkably resistant to the process, per the statement. AdvertisementAfter tweaking the chemical composition of the mixture, Colossal Scientists say they've finally cracked it. Understanding how to turn tweak these elephant stem cells into cells from the extinct species will be another hurdle to tackle going forward.

☆ Not so dead as a dodo: ‘De-extinction’ plan to reintroduce bird to Mauritius
  + stars: | 2023-12-01 | by ( Tom Page | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +10 min
CNN —An audacious collaboration between geneticists and conservationists plans to bring back the extinct dodo and reintroduce it to its once-native habitat in Mauritius. But according to the partners, its return to Mauritius could benefit the dodo’s immediate environment and other species. The Nicobar pigeon, native to the coastal regions from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is the closest living relative to the dodo. Then it will edit the PGCs of a Nicobar so it expresses the physical traits of a dodo. “I have studied the dodo for many years, and there is still a lot to learn about this enigmatic bird,” he added.

☆ Using AI to monitor orphaned elephants in Botswana could usher in the return of the woolly mammoth

The startup has entered a collaboration with Elephant Havens, a wildlife foundation based in the Okavango Delta that cares for orphaned elephants. The findings, the organizations hope, could provide a blueprint for releasing the elephants into the wild and mammoth hybrids to the tundra. A new system for elephant monitoringHuman-wildlife conflict is the leading cause of elephant orphans in Botswana, says Elephant Havens founder Debra Stevens. After five years in the enclosure, Elephant Havens will reintroduce these bonded herds into the wild, and monitor their progress for a decade. Biotech company Colossal wants to create a hybrid combining mammoth DNA with that of Asian elephants.

Colossal Bio, a biotech trying to resurrect the woolly mammoth, just spun out its first company. The new company, Form Bio, sells manufacturing software to life sciences companies. Colossal Bio, a Texas-based biotech trying to bring back the woolly mammoth, announced its first spinout company on Tuesday. Form is the first spinout from Colossal Bio, which plans to commercialize technologies it develops while chasing the audacious task of resurrecting extinct species. Colossal CEO Ben Lamm told Insider that Form won't be the last spinout company from his company.
