Chinese Scientists Have Successfully Bred Mice From Two Females Using CRISPR
According to CNN, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have successfully bred healthy mice using gene editing technology and two female parents.
In a study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, the scientists point out that unisexual reproduction is not uncommon in lower vertebrates but that it is not something seen in mammals. "We were interested in the question of why mammals can only undergo sexual reproduction," Qi Zhou said in a news release. "We tried to find out whether normal mice with two female parents, or even mice with two male parents, could be produced using haploid embryonic stem cells with gene deletions."
