Known as the country of bamboo curtains, China has always shocked the world with anything they make, the most recent being the cloning process of wolves.
Researchers from China succeeded in cloning the Arctic Wolf, Cloning is a technique to make offspring using the same genetic code as the parent cell and not through the fertilization process.
China Makes World's First Cloned Arctic Wolf
The animal by scientists is named Maya and marks 100 days of its birth, the wolf has a gray mix brown color with a bushy tail.
This arctic wolf has been successfully cloned, after the efforts of scientists over the past two years, and this is the world's first result.
Known as the polar wolf, the Arctic Wolf is also a subspecies of the gray wolf that is native to the Arctic Islands of northern Canada.
Cloning Process In Collaboration With Harbin Polarland Amusement Park
On the Weibo platform, a post shows that the Project carried out by Sinogene Biotechnology since 2020 is in collaboration with the polar amusement park Harbin Polarland.
The process carried out when making Maya is by somatic cell transfer. Initially, the scientists used real Arctic wolf skin samples, aiming to collect donor cells.
Then injected into the female dog's egg cell, through this process the scientists were able to create 85 embryos, then transferred into the womb of the beagle and the process resulted in one Arctic wolf.
