This is really crazy.
Sometimes scientists try to play God, trying to create something new. Some of their discovery is indeed a breakthrough for all of humanity, others a nightmare that violate the natural laws of nature. Genetic engineering is already firmly entrenched, and sometimes the results are shocking.
15. Rat with human ear
In 1997, Charles Vacanti together with a team of scientists at the medical school of the University of Massachusetts has grown on the back of the rat human ear, the animal transplantarea of cartilage cells. The ear has reached the right size and was successfully transplanted to the patient.
14. Zombie dog
In the Soviet popular science 1940 film “Experiments in the revival of organism” demonstrated experience with the use of a primitive heart-lung machine. The device is supplied with separated dog’s head with oxygen-rich blood, and she was responsive to external stimuli.
13. A pig with a human face
In 2015 in the economy the Chinese farmer’s pig born with a human face. This year, genetics was first created chimeric embryos, in which pigs combined with human cells and other mammals. This will allow us to grow human organs in animals body.
12. Chickens without feathers
In 2001, the Israeli geneticist brought the breed chickens without feathers. These birds are perfectly adapted to breeding in warm countries, fast growing, less susceptible to parasites, and they do not have to pluck before cooking.
11. Belgian blue cow
It is a meat breed of cows was developed in the nineteenth century by crossing the short-legged Shorthorn beef bulls from the UK with black-and-white and red-white Friesian dairy cows of Belgium. Incredible muscle mass cloven-hoofed because the DNA of a gene suppressing the action of myostatin, a protein, hindering muscle growth upon reaching a certain threshold.
10. The destruction of malarial mosquitoes
Everyone knows that the bite of the Anopheles mosquito dangerous to humans. So scientists began to work to edit the genome of mosquitoes. It is really to destroy the population of Anopheles, by mass rearing and release of sterile males.
9. Transparent frogs
In 2007, Professor, University of Hiroshima, Masayuki Sumida brought transparent frogs. This discovery will allow to consider changes of internal organs of amphibians during a disease without preparation.
8. Sterile pink bollworm of cotton
In the United States found a way of dealing with attacking cotton fields pink boxed worm of cotton. On special farms moths grow from worms by feeding them red dye to differentiate it from the ordinary. Then the agronomists exposed them to a complete sterilization, and then scatter over the cotton fields with the help of unmanned aircraft.
7. Barbus Sumatran fluorescent
Fluorescent fish were first established at the National University of Singapore. To produce a colored glow in the DNA of fish was placed the genes of jellyfish and corals.
6. Goat-Zlatograd
Living on the farm goats at the University of Utah grafted the spider gene-Zlatograd. Animals give milk that contains spider silk, which is then sent for recycling. Silk is isolated in a special way, and then used for the production of bulletproof vests, artificial ligaments and tendons.
5. Giant salmon
Genetically modified salmon company, “AquaBounty” is growing two times faster than normal fish of this species. If this kind of release in the nature, the ecosystem can fail…
4. Environmentally friendly pigs
Canadian scientists have deduced environmentally friendly pigs. These pigs absorb more phytic acid, which in turn reduces the amount of phosphorus-containing waste. Excess phosphorus in the normal swine manure accumulates in the soil and into nearby water sources that is the problem.
3. Dolly
Dolly the sheep – the first cloned mammal. She was born on 5 July 1996 in Scotland. In the experiment for obtaining a clone in 277 eggs were transferred nucleus taken from the udder of the animal donor. Dolly lived as the usual sheep, and after 6.5 years had to be put down due to progressive lung disease and severe arthritis.
2. Multi-colored carrots
These colorful carrots are genetically modified that not only differentiates them by color, but also a wealth of nutrients. The roots also differ in taste.
1. Golden seahorse
Golden seahorse is the first genetically modified animal in Vietnam. The biologists mixed the gold dust with jellyfish proteins, then injected into the eggs of a sea horse by using a special method.
Genetic engineering does not cease to frighten ordinary citizens, but in it lies a great future, perhaps even saving humankind from incurable diseases.
