For years,Colossal Bioscienceshas strived to bring the woolly mammothback from extinction.
Once these genes were identified, the team implanted genetically modified embryos in female lab mice.
They also had similar fat as mammoths, allowing them to withstand colder temperatures.
Regardless, some in the field have expressed doubts about the project, posing questions about its ultimate effectiveness.
In fact, scientists intend to edit the embryos of Asian elephants next and implant these into female elephants.
They hope to produce mammoth-like Asian elephant embryos by next year and birth the first calves by 2028.
