3 mixed germ monkeys have six different types of cells, thus inherits all his parents were unique DNA. This kind of mixture of two or more different cell from the animal known as "chimeras" (chimera), also from "Jimei La" is used.
In fact, scientists had been successful embryo using mixed methods, and encouraged a lack of specific gene knockout (knock-out) mice to study diabetes, heart disease, but the cultivation of mixed embryo experiments in primates had never succeeded.
Researcher, said the monkey was born after embryo mix very healthy, because monkeys and human mental and biological similar study will help to increase the in vitro fertilization, artificial contraception and foster awareness of organ technologies.
