    You’re right. I misunderstood it as copying the DNA from mammoths, when they were actually editing the mouse DNA to mirror the evolutionary changes that mammoths underwent.

    They have some partial DNA that they’re using to try and recreate woolly mammoth-like creatures. That’s probably what mixed me up. Thanks for the correction!
