scientists create 'woolly mice'

Scientists genetically engineer mice with thick hair like the extinct woolly mammoth
Extinction is still forever, but scientists at the biotech company Colossal Biosciences are trying what they say is the next best thing to restoring ancient beasts — genetically engineering living animals with qualities to resemble extinct species like the woolly mammoth.
De-extinction scientists say these gene-edited ‘woolly mice’ are a step toward woolly mammoths
The animals, the first to have been created by Colossal Biosciences, have fluffy coats and curly whiskers.
World’s 1st ‘woolly mice’ born out of mammoth genes, Colossal defends ‘playing god’
The mouse is validation that our de-extinction pipeline is successful," Colossal Biosciences' Dr. Beth Shapiro tells Interesting Engineering.
Wooly mice designed to engineer mammoth-like elephants
Experiments on mice could see hairy, genetically modified elephants living in the Arctic, a US company claims.
These scientists are trying to revive woolly mammoths ... by modifying mice
You've heard of the woolly mammoth. But have you heard of woolly mice? These critters were genetically modified by the Dallas-based biotech company Colossal Biosciences to have the same "woolly" and fat appearance as the ancient mammoths.
Hoping to revive mammoths, scientists create 'woolly mice'
Hoping to bring the giant, ancient animal back from extinction, scientists have created a far smaller woolly creature. Woolly mice have some of the key traits of mammoths, including their thick, hairy coat.
Researchers bred mice with mammoth fur for the first time
The mice with golden yellow shaggy fur are said to be a step towards creating the most mammoth-like elephant possible: In the USA, genetic
Scientists Have Bred Woolly Mice on Their Journey to Bring Back the Mammoth
When it comes to the woolly mammoth, however, that rule has now been bent. It’s been 4,000 years since the eight-ton, 12-foot, elephant-like beast walked the Earth, but part of its DNA now operates inside several litters of four-inch,
Can genetically engineered 'woolly' mice help bring back the mammoth?
Colossal Biosciences has altered several genes in mice to make them look more mammoth-like, but the company is far from its goal of fully resurrecting woolly mammoths by 2028

expert reaction to unpublished preprint on inducing loss of function of genes in mice to produce woolly mammoth- like hair phenotypes
“Colossal’s team made a number of genetic changes known as “knock outs” in lab mice that are already known to produce longer, thicker, wavier — or woollier — coats in mice. They also made a change ...
