巨型生物科学计划到2028年,利用基因编辑来帮助恢复北极草原和缓慢的永久冻土冻土,建立一个羊毛长毛巨型混合体。 Colossal Biosciences plans to create a woolly mammoth-like hybrid by 2028 using gene editing to help restore Arctic grasslands and slow permafrost thaw.

巨型生物科学的目标是到2028年,利用基因编辑,将冷适应性特性插入亚洲大象细胞,形成一种毛毛长毛象型混合体。 Colossal Biosciences aims to create a woolly mammoth-like hybrid by 2028 using gene editing to insert cold-adaptation traits into Asian elephant cells. 目的是生产能够帮助恢复北极草原和缓慢的永久冻土解冻的动物, The goal is to produce animals that could help restore Arctic grasslands and slow permafrost thaw, though they won’t be exact clones. 该公司测试了小鼠的基因编辑,产生羊毛涂层后代。 The company has tested gene edits in mice, producing woolly-coated offspring. 虽然支持者强调气候和濒危大象养护的潜在好处,但批评者质疑道德、成本和动物福利,敦促把重点放在现有的受威胁物种上。 While proponents highlight potential benefits for climate and endangered elephant conservation, critics question the ethics, cost, and animal welfare, urging focus on existing threatened species. 重新引进将需要广泛的生态和文化规划。 Reintroduction would require extensive ecological and cultural planning.
