The craziest genetic transformation experiments in history

Creating cats, glowing fish, Vaccine bananas, bovine breeders . is one of many crazy human genetic modification experiments that have been performed recently.

>>>End of meaningless experiment lasts 84 years

10. Cabbage - Scorpion

Cabbage is an indispensable green vegetable for Eastern Europeans, so it is not unusual for it to become an object for biological researchers.

Oxford Institute of Virology, England has developed the idea of ​​creating cabbage plants containing poison of scorpion species like a natural insecticide. Thereby, farmers can limit the use of pesticides without worrying about the prevention of insects that destroy crops.

In 1994, scientists first tried to spray scorpion venom in cabbage fields. So far they have taken further steps in creating cabbage varieties capable of poisoning insects without harming humans by injecting scorpion toxins into the same strain of cabbage.

9. Glowing fish

Glofish - glowing fish is a unique product of genetic technology. Scientists have implanted fluorescent protein genes into zebrafish varieties to create colorful fish.

The purpose of this project is to reduce environmental pollution. Whenever exposed to water contaminated with fluorescent substances in the fish body, it will signal to experts to handle it in time.

In the future, canaries will be put on the 'surgical table' to become the next glowing creatures.

8. Grapple - Apples taste grapes

The familiar fruit is still the ordinary apples but has the taste of grapes. Scientists brought Fuji apples or Washington apples Extra Fancy Gala soaked in methyl anthranilate (the substance used to flavor in grape juice and candy) to create a taste like grapes in Concord region.

7. Tomato Flavr Savr

Savr flavr tomatoes are the first genetically engineered food approved by the FDA (US Food & Drug Administration), which taste much better than a regular tomato.

This type of tomato was put on sale in 1994 but due to difficulties in the transport process, it was removed from the market in 1997. Although Savr flavr has kept the color flavor longer. But it cannot become a new breed for farmers because it is very bland. But it is also an interesting breakthrough.

6. Mouse super fast

Researchers at the University of Lausanne have created a super rat that has been shown to be faster, stronger and healthier than ever. They can run twice as far as normal mice and have excellent cold resistance.

These are just steps to test the oil to create the elite army with future champions power of the government.

5. Anti-cancer chicken eggs

In 2007, scientists at the Roslin Institute successfully produced a layered egg that was able to fight cancer.

The chickens have human genes in their DNA and the result is egg whites contain medicinal proteins, which can be separated and purified into medicines.

The idea was enthusiastically supported by anti-cancer organizations, but 7 years passed, it seems that the project does not have any static. However, the idea of ​​animal-based drugs may be optimal in the future.

4. Banana vaccine

Scientists inject a virus into young banana trees, the virus's genes will quickly become permanent parts of plant cells.

When banana plants grow, the cells produce viral proteins - but not the infectious part of the virus. When people eat genetically modified bananas, the banana is full of viral proteins, our immune system produces antibodies that fight disease like a traditional vaccine.

3. Cats glow

In 2007, South Korean scientists changed a cat's DNA to make it glow in the dark, creating glowing furry cats. They then cloned this DNA to create a set of glowing fur cats.

The researchers took the virus cells to produce a red fluorescent protein. They then put the transgenic nucleus into the egg to clone, the cloned embryos were transplanted back into the experimental cats to become the mother of the glowing cubs later.

This successful experiment will open the technology to monitor the development of viral diseases. When the virus develops, the area will clear up so that the doctor can intervene.

2. Cows carry human genes

Chinese scientists are thought to have attempted to transplant human genes into cows to form heterologous heterologous creatures with the intention of making cows as good as human milk. That violates human morality because when we kill those cows it is like killing and eating cannibalism.

1. Goats produce spider silk

Spider silk is one of the most valuable materials in nature and it can be used to create ligament and parachute products . In 2000, Nexia Biotechnology Technology School announced an invention: goats can produce spider silk protein in its milk.

The researchers introduced a gene that regulates spider silk production in DNA of experimental goats. That way, they will obtain spider silk protein in their milk. This milk is used to produce a high strength fiber called Biosteel.
