For the first time, a team of Chinese researchers has managed to clone two monkeys. Unveiled Wednesday, January 24 in the scientific journal Cell, this success is promising for medical research because it could allow laboratories to work with genetically uniform primate populations. But if this feat was performed with a therapeutic intent, it is not without asking many ethical questions.

In 1996 was born the sheep Dolly, the first cloned animal. Since then, mice, cats, and dogs have been born in the same way. But never our closest cousins, the monkeys, could have been cloned. It is now done. Macaques Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua share the same genetic code as their parents, so to speak.

To achieve this, we must take a cell of the individual that we want to clone and keep only its nucleus, which contains the genetic information. On the other side, on a female, researchers take a reproductive cell: an oocyte and remove the nucleus. The idea is to insert the genetic information of the first individual into the oocyte.

After a few days, an embryo appears and is transferred to the uterus of a surrogate mother.......

Where is Mendel!

Where is Mendel!

He is coming

The end is now, We need to get back to the future

Seun

Old news of how many days now? If na Lil Kesh sneeze this morning now, the mod for don put am for FP even before the boy use hanky clean him nose.

...

Huh!

Ok,cool

Wetin we no go see.

Nice research

Hmmmmm

seen.

Cute Chinese babies..

They should accelerate the process and try to clone humans.If it's successful i won't mind a clone of beyoncé,Rihanna and my personal fave Mia Khalifa

I can't wake up to this kind of news jor. Lemme go back to sleep

I no understand

kudos to them

Cloned?

chinko monkeys. nice one.

D world is cumn 2 an end.
Repemt

Come and clone daura king ooo

Na so, people trying so hard to replace God . Why it in another uterus? They should also make a uterus of their own,power the machine how ever they want , and produce a living fly first mugus trying to play God

Watching with kin interest. Very soon we will see man made men fill the streets. People without soul. The end has come. God will never allow that to happen

Hmm
