The researchers plan to reconstruct the mammoth genome using samples found in the permafrost, and fill in the gaps in the genome by using the DNA of modern Asian elephants. It is noteworthy that their genomes are 99.6% the same, writes the Daily Mail.
In addition, the company needs to find countries that are ready to allow the release of resurrected mammoths on their territories: Colossal Biosciences is going to launch an analogue of Jurassic Park.
Ben Lam, CEO and co-founder of Colossal, believes that people will love mammoths, as well as other animals that now live on planet Earth.
