A new breakthrough in egg cell creation has enabled a female mouse to give birth to babies carrying only the genes of two fathers.
“The mice look fine — they grew up to be adults, and the adult mice are also fertile,” says Katsuhiko Hayashi, a genome biologist at Osaka University in Japan. In multicellular organisms, somatic cells are any kind other than reproductive cells. Using a technique developed by Nobel Prize laureate Shinya Yamanaka, Hayashi’s team has introduced genes into somatic cells to turn them into pluripotent stem cells, a type of cell that can stand in for an embryonic cell., the team describes how they used this technique to convert an XY male chromosome into an XX female chromosome in mice.
