cloning

According to some geneticists, we are not that far from bringing animals like the woolly mammoth back to life

It will go live next year and will clone mostly beef embryos to supply China's growing demand for meat.

The cloning of the extinct mammoth is getting closer and closer. Now, a prestigious geneticist at Harvard University (USA), George Church, has succeeded in inserting 14 mammoth genes into the DNA of a living Asian elephant.

Scientists from the University of Oregon (USA) and the Oregon National Primate Research Center have reprogrammed human skin cells to obtain embryonic stem cells capable of transforming into any other cell in the body. They are convinced that therapies with these cells will make it possible to replace damaged cells in different organs and treat Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, heart disease and spinal cord damage, among other pathologies.

Genetics in its purest form

Dolly the sheep, Finn Dorset breed, was born on July 5, 1996 at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh (Scotland).

Use of specialized DNA technology to produce exact multiple copies of a single gene or other DNA segment, in order to obtain enough material for more in-depth studies.

Neither evolution nor the nature of man justify why so many exact copies of brothers with the same genetic heritage are born. We talk about the twins.
