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

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.
