Genetically modified "woolly mice," ginawa ng biotech firm sa Amerika sa pag-asang buhayin ang mga woolly mammoth

2 days ago

Sa tulong ng teknolohiya, misyon ng ilang eksperto ang pagbuhay sa extinct nang ninuno ng mga elepante, ang woolly mammoth. Hangad iyan ng isang biotechnology company sa Amerika—na para matupad ito, gumawa ng mga genetically modified na... daga! Posible nga ba ito?

00:00In the field of technology, the mission of some experts is to bring life to the extinct

00:10elephants led by Wooly Mammoth, the example of a biotechnology company in America that

00:17to achieve this, made genetically modified cattle.

00:21Is this possible?

00:23Brother Kim, what's next?

00:30This cattle is very cute and very fluffy.

00:33But did you know that they are not just simple cattle?

00:36Their tail is not longer than a hammock.

00:39They are genetically modified laboratory mice.

00:42Made by a biotechnology company in America in the hope of de-extincting an animal that

00:47lived on our planet thousands of years ago, the Wooly Mammoth.

00:52So we actually engineered a mouse equivalent of mammoth genes that we've identified on

00:57our quest to bring back the mammoth into mice in a healthy way and produce what we

01:02believe is a cold-tolerant, woolly, phenotype-driven mice.

01:07Wooly Mammoth are extinct species of elephants with long tails and can survive in extremely

01:13cold climates.

01:14Through genetic modification or editing of genes to copy the characteristics of an animal,

01:20Wooly Mammoth have mammoth-inspired traits, just like their wooly coat or tail.

01:26But is it possible to de-extinct or revive an animal through genetic modification?

01:32This experiment is far from being able to copy the characteristics of mammals.

01:36We birthed 38 mice and they were all, you know, edited and happy and healthy and there weren't

01:41any unintended consequences besides the fact that they were massively adorable.

01:46But it is not yet possible for mammals to live.

01:50Always remember that knowledge is important.

01:53I will answer these questions in 24 hours.
