"Startup creates mammoth meatball using DNA technology"
TL;DR
Australian cultured meat company Vow has unveiled a giant meatball made from flesh cultivated using the DNA of an extinct woolly mammoth at Nemo Science Museum in the Netherlands. The meatball was made of sheep cells inserted with a singular mammoth gene called myoglobin. Vow hopes to put cultured meat on the map in the European Union, a market where such meat as food is not regulated yet.
