@haejin A major breakthrough in life science in the world! Two cloned monkeys were born in China

t of thousands as like as two peas monkey - journey to the west "in the myth is becoming a reality. Cloned monkey "in" and her sister "Huahua" in Chinese was born nearly two months! Beijing time on January 25th, the "story" on the international authoritative academic journal "cell cover, which means that the world's problems China scientists successfully break the existing technology can not be cloned primate animal. Since the birth of the first cloned sheep "Dolly" in 1996, in the past more than 20 years, scientists in various countries have cloned cattle, rats, cats, dogs and other animals using somatic cells, but they have not overcome the problem of cloning the most similar non-human primates. Scientists have generally believed that the existing technology is unable to clone primates. After 5 years of hard work, the Sun Qiang team of the Institute of neuroscience of the Academy of Sciences has successfully overcome the problem of the frontier of biology in the world. Using this technology, the scientific research team can develop a large number of gene editors and the same genetic background model monkeys in the next year.
