Successful injection of genes in mammoth elephant – Region 024

a true ‘Jurassic Park’, scientists from Harvard University have successfully genes of a mammoth injected into the genome of an elephant. All this seems a big leap forward in the field of research, lead researcher George Church has no mammoth walking around in the lab.

Given the mammoth existed in very cold areas the DNA of some carcasses still fairly well preserved . The cold protected the dead mammoths of dissolution but more importantly, also of hungry predatory and carrion. Some thawed carcasses, which researchers now use the DNA, or 40,000 years old.

Although researchers have found fragments of useful mammoth DNA is not enough yet to create a mammoth. The opinions expressed in science are distributed thereon; one side thinks it will never succeed in the mammoth back from oblivion to let go, the other side says that it is possible to combine the DNA of a modern elephant with the useful genes of a mammoth, creating a sort of ‘ mammoetfant ‘will occur.

Church and 3 other teams are currently busy with here. They analyzed the DNA of a mammoth and compare it with the DNA of an Asian elephant, herein they look for differences in the DNA that the Asian elephant is different from the extinct mammoth. They then make exact copies of the DNA strands before being allowed to modify the strands in order to make as accurately as possible a replica of the pieces unusable mammoth DNA.
