Ongoing efforts to "de-extinct" the auroch differ from those for other extinct species in that they do not require genetic engineering. Most of the auroch's DNA lives on in modern cattle breeds ...

An extinct species of cattle—the aurochs—that died out some 400 years ago, would be the perfect animal to "de-extinct," says ...

If you’ve ever bitten into a beef burger, I’m sure you weren’t thinking about cows’ ancient ancestor the aurochs. But your burger wouldn’t have existed without this now-extinct, colossal, horned beast ...

The last of these stately creatures - known as aurochs - went extinct in the 1600s. But what if there were a way to bring them back? Last year David MacHugh, a professor of genomics at University ...

but they went extinct in the 1960s. Some scientists want to bring them back by reintroducing the nearly-identical Siberian tiger to its old habitats, where they expect it to adapt. The aurochs is ...

Now on the seventh generation, the tauros cattle, as they have been named, are more than 99% genetically similar to the extinct aurochs, said Ronald Goderie, the project’s managing director.
