The company, named Colossal, aims to place thousands of these magnificent beasts back on

the Siberian tundra (lãnh nguyên, (những vùng Bắc cực trơ trụi bằng phẳng rộng lớn của châu Âu, Á và Bắc Mỹ, nơi tầng đất cái đã bị đóng băng vĩnh cửu)), thousands of years after they went extinct (tuyệt chủng).

“This is a major milestone (cột mốc) for us,” said George Church, a biologist (nhà sinh học) at Harvard Medical School, who for eight years has been leading a small team of moonlighting researchers developing the tools for reviving mammoths. “It’s going to make all the difference in the world.”

The company, which has received $15 million in initial funding, will support research in Dr. Church’s lab and carry out experiments in labs of their own in Boston and Dallas.

A former researcher in Dr. Church’s lab, Eriona Hysolli, will oversee the new company’s efforts to edit elephant DNA, adding genes for mammoth traits like dense hair and thick fat for withstanding cold. The researchers hope to produce embryos of these mammoth-like elephants in a few years, and ultimately produce entire populations of the animals.
