An American biological technology company that works to restore extinct animals said it had reached a teacher in its endeavor to re -create the Sufi mammoth. This week, the “woolen mice”-the genetically designed mice of the mythical sporty sporting are reminding us of the mammat that were fatal.
Scientists in the enormous biological sciences are planning to liberate Asian elephant genes, the closest relative of the mammothy neighborhoods, to almost produce closely than the giants that have disappeared, which can fill their role itself in nature. This means comparing the oscon mammoths with those in the Asian elephants to identify genes that produce main features: shaggy hair, long tusks, and large stores of fat, among other things.
Sufi mice are a test to release genes to produce Shagha hair. the development “It coincides with the moment of water gatherings on our mission to cancel,” The massive founder bin Lam said. “This success makes us a step closer to our goal of restoring the Sufi mammoth.”
Scientists do not participate in the research He says The company is still far from creating the similarity of the Sufi mammoth. “The mammoth is more than just an elephant in a fur coat,” said Tori Herij, the evolutionary biologist at the University of Sheffield.
“Unless you decide to make all “Editing the necessity for the genome,” Herjid said. “You will not return” mammoth “.
