The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is an extinct species of mammoth that lived from the Middle Pleistocene until its extinction in the Holocene epoch. It was one of the last in a line of mammoth species, beginning with the African Mammuthus subplanifrons in the early Pliocene.
The revival of the woolly mammoth is a proposed hypothetical that frozen soft-tissue remains and DNA from extinct woolly mammoths could be a means of regenerating the species. Several methods have been proposed to achieve this goal, including cloning , artificial insemination , and genome editing .
Because mammoth DNA is a 99.6 percent match to the DNA of the Asian elephant, Colossal believes that gene editing can eventually create an embryo of a woolly mammoth. The eventual goal is to ...

12,800 years ago, the woolly mammoth suddenly disappeared. A new piece evidence may finally explain why.
In the woolly mammoth, Asian elephants will be used as surrogates to give birth to mammoth calves. According to research from Colossal, their DNA is already more than 99% similar.

The woolly mammoth hasn't roamed the planet for thousands of years, but that could soon change. A team of scientists has gotten one large step closer to resurrecting the shaggy species.
