The vertical orange bar marks the position of the gene that is responsible for hybrid sterility (e.g., the Drosophila gene OdsH). Different sterile and fertile hybrids are typed for markers on the ...

In the world of animal breeding, hybrid animals are a fascinating mix of nature and human effort. These animals are created by crossing two different species, leading to unique and sometimes ...

Japan's government approved a request for stem-cell experiments meant to create an animal-human hybrid and allow it to be brought to term. The experiment, which still requires approval from the ...

Detailed genetic analysis on hybrid male sterility, however, has shown that hybrid incompatibility often involves conspecific genic interactions as well. The DM model is far too simple in that ...

Japan's government approved a request by scientists to conduct stem-cell experiments to create an animal-human hybrid and allow it to be brought to term. Japan's science ministry last week gave ...
