Fatherless mice are created in the lab using only unfertilised mouse eggs - marking a huge step towards one-parent babies

Yanchang Wei and colleagues at Shanghai Jiao Tong University showed that parthenogenesis is possible in mammals through a targeted technique that edits DNA methylation marks, which are chemical modifications that can alter gene activity without changing the underlying DNA sequence.

The authors applied the epigenetic rewriting approach to seven imprinting control regions in mouse oocytes, successfully modifying DNA methylation in one copy of the gene but not the other.

The transfer of modified embryos into foster female mice then resulted in the generation of viable full-term offspring, the researchers said.

'Following parthenogenetic activation, these edited regions showed maintenance of methylation as naturally established regions during early preimplantation development,' they wrote in their paper.

'The transfer of modified parthenogenetic embryos into foster mothers resulted in significantly extended development and finally in the generation of viable full-term offspring.

'These data demonstrate that parthenogenesis can be achieved by targeted epigenetic rewriting of multiple critical imprinting control regions.'

However, only one live offspring survived to adulthood, highlighting the need for additional research and refinement of the technique used in an effort to improve its success rate.

Nevertheless, the results suggest that parthenogenesis can be achieved in mammals through the chemical DNA changes used by the scientists.

Evidently, that's the goal.

I wonder who decided that?

This must be all the rage in liberal land. They LOVE fatherless kids!

[Jamestown1630]

why do we want to do this?

Nature made some parthenogenetic species. What’s the purpose in making more?

[gitmo]

All females. The left should love that world.

So now fags can create a freak baby in the lab? 🤪

[Scarlett156]

Just what we need! Yay!!!!

[Rurudyne]

Repent, for the Great Tribulation is at hand.

[BenLurkin]

Madness.

One parent babies are a new concept? It's been happening here since the Rat Party established "no questions asked" welfare for black girls.

Preparing for the covid jab making everyone sterile?

Sometimes... I feel.... like a Fa-ther-less Mouse
Sometimes... I feel.... like a Fa-ther-less Mouse
Sometimes... I feel.... like a Fa-ther-less Mouse
A Long Ways from home
A Long Ways from home

Sometimes I wish Dat I could Fly
Sometimes I wish Dat I could Fly
Sometimes I wish Dat I could Fly
Like Dem birds in the the sky
A liddle bit closer to hooome

It still requires two people the only thing that’s changed is the insertion is now no longer required.

fatherless mouse= basement dweller. Got ‘em all over the place.

[real saxophonist]

‘Fatherless Mice’ sounds like a good name for a band.

[Yo-Yo]

𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥 In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your sons, pick your daughters too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

Whoa-oh-oh 𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥

we don’t have enough mice already? We’ll have to get more cats to help control the population of faster, smarter, healthier, and now artificially produced mice.

Next the democrats will be building huge subsidized housing for fatherless mice.
