[ExI] New Bioscience Company Raises $15 Million to Revive Woolly Mammoth

[John Grigg]

Google says:
"Although comprised of is an established standard for "*being composed or
constituted of*," it is often liable to criticism and scrutiny. The correct
version put forward by grammar guides is to use "composed of" or
"comprises" such as "the cake is composed of flour and eggs" or "comprises
flour and eggs."

I see! Thank you for letting me know...
