Scientists created a ‘woolly mouse’ with mammoth traits. Is it a step toward bringing back the extinct giant?
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 with ...

Meet the Woolly Mouse, on the Road to a Woolly Mammoth Rebirth
and a change to the gene MC1R gave the mice a mammoth’s trademark rusty color. To avoid any concerns about mouse health, researchers used gene variants which have been observed in healthy mice ...
