Will they be able to turn the hybrid cells into a functional embryo and potentially bring the extinct creatures to our modern world?

A group of scientists work to make fantasy reality by splicing DNA from frozen woolly mammoth into the DNA of a modern elephant. With his "unparalleled" ( Booklist, starred review) writing, Ben Mezrich takes us on an exhilarating and true adventure story from the icy terrain of Siberia to the cutting-edge genetic labs of Harvard University.
