The mouse successfully conceived and gave birth to children without the participation of the male

By the way, since March 8, a group of researchers has successfully bred offspring from one unfertilized mouse egg. Animals in nature are incapable of this. DiscussMouse successfully conceived and gave birth to children without the participation of a male

In the new work, the researchers extracted an egg from a mouse, and then edited the genes using CRISPR technology to to mimic the input of the male parent. The scientists then injected an enzyme into the egg to turn on certain genes and turn off others. The egg was then implanted into the uterus of the female.

All offspring survived birth, but only one cub survived to adulthood. At the same time, he managed to produce offspring himself.
