Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University have produced fertile adult mice from embryos constructed entirely with male ...

How cell fate decisions are made is a fundamental question in developmental biology. Recent analyses of the first two fate decisions in mammalian embryogenesis illustrate the potential interplay ...

In a world first, scientists have created mice with two fathers, capable of having offspring of their own. It’s a huge step ...

The experiments show that changes in iron levels can lead male mammalian embryos to develop female sex characteristics, regardless of their genetics. Dr. Russell Moul. Dr. Russell Moul.

The first mice to be created from two fathers, a phenomenon known as androgenesis, have now produced healthy offspring for ...

A team of scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that ...

To Shakespeare’s Hamlet we humans are “the paragon of animals”. But recent advances in genetics are suggesting that humans are far from being evolution’s greatest achievement.

Mice with two fathers and no mother have now had offspring of their own. The study is a breakthrough in androgenesis – that ...

For decades, scientists have known that platypuses and echidnas – Australia's unique egg-laying mammals – have another ...

Scientists have raised the first viable mouse with two male parents into adulthood after editing imprinting genes.

We were trying to learn how certain animals lost their regeneration capacity during evolution and then put back the ...
