One of the scientists involved in the research said it has relevant practical implications for genetic engineering and species conservation.
Scientists in China have just grown a fluorescent green monkey using stem cells in a world first.Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who published their findings in the journal Cell, have recorded the first live birth of a chimeric monkey that contains cells that come from two genetically distinct embryos of the same species. Chimeric refers to any tissue that contains two, or more, differing sets of DNA.
The scientists injected the stem cells into monkey embryos which were four or five days old. This resulted in 12 pregnancies among female macaques, and six live births. They found that one live monkey, and one fetus was chimeric. The fetus however, miscarried.The green fluorescent protein told scientists which of their tissues contained cells that were the result of the injected lines.
