The Mission of the De-Extinct Woolly Mammoth

We developed technology for automated DNA sequencing which suddenly made it possible to sequence ancient DNA. We've applied those to pigs and shown that we can make a highly edited pig for organ transplant. That was the reason to feel that it should work on other large mammals larger than human. Part of this is for aimed at the Arctic and for the world atmosphere, but part of its aimThat endangered species develop technologies that be used for endangered species in general and elephants in particular. All the current elephant species are endangered, but we're starting with cells from them. They typically do work out with a little bit of debugging at the cellular level.
