The meatballs aren’t intended for human consumption
Woolly mammoth remains, with fur and tissue still in tact, are regularly found entombed in Arctic permafrost. Their discovery has allowed scientists to sequence the mammoth genome and learn intriguing details about the lives of these extinct Ice Age giants. Now, some of that information is being used to grow an approximation of mammoth meat in a lab. Vow, an Australian cultured meat startup, has made what it describes as a mammoth meatball.
“From a genomic point of view, it’s only one gene amongst all the other sheep genes that is mammoth,” said Ernst Wolvetang, a professor and senior group leader at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology at the University of Queensland, who was part of the project. “It’s one gene out of 25,000.” Ryall said the mammoth myoglobin did change the physical appearance of the sheep muscle cells.
