The future of genetics, the present of de-extinction.
Bringing back the Woolly Mammoth and
EXTINCTION IS A COLOSSAL PROBLEM FACING THE WORLD. Colossal Labs & Systems is here to fix it!
Combining the science of genetics with the business of discovery, we endeavor to jumpstart nature’s ancestral heartbeat. To see the Woolly Mammoth thunder upon tundra once again. To advance the economies of biology and healing through genetics. To make humanity more human. And to reawaken the lost wilds of Earth. So we, and our planet, can breathe easier.

According to Leading Scientists:
The UN has declared that 1,000,000 animal and plant species are threatened with extinction. Since 1900, native species of most land habitats have FALLEN 20%. MORE THAN 40% of amphibians, 33% of reef-forming corals and more than 1/3 of all marine mammals are THREATENED.
De-Extinction: A functional application of advanced gene editing technology aimed at rebuilding the DNA of lost megafauna and other creatures that had a measurably positive impact on our fragile ecosystems.

This is DNA and the new dawn of genetics.
This is incomprehensibly microscopic. Yet, this is Colossal - the advanced genetics and biosciences company that’s developing the science that will save us, our planet and the species that inhabit it. MAY PREHISTORY THUNDER FORWARD!
The Science of Resurrecting the Woolly Mammoth.
In the minds of many, this creature is gone forever. But not in the minds of our scientists, nor the labs of our company. We’re already in the process of the de-extinction of the Woolly Mammoth. Our teams have collected viable DNA samples, and are editing the genes that will allow this wonderful megafauna to once again thunder through the Arctic.
