Cross-Species Genetics; Is It Possible?
Future of DNA Splicing
Most possible future applications of Cross-Species Genetics include the possible introduction of physical traits from animal to human. Things like the regenerative tissues in a lizard's tail, and the muscle mass of a gorilla would be major goals.
What is Cross-Species Genetics?
Disruptions in DNA Splicing
Successful Starting Points
There are three main uses for Cross-Species Genetics in today's medical field.
Cross-Species Genetics is the theory and/or practice of cells/DNA being taken from one organism and put into another for a beneficiary trait or adaptation.
There have been several reported incidents of cancer caused by DNA splicing due to the disruption of the cell cycle.
Cartilage Transplants
Almost every cartilage transplant in the U.S. is done through steady introduction of a shark or similar animal's cartilage in select areas, and helping the body accept the new cells as its own.
Keratin Transplant
Several chemotherapy patients have had keratin transplants due to the thinness of their skin and nails, and their lack of hair. There is no specific animal DNA used for this purpose, but horse DNA has been used
Bone Cement
Although the use of bone cement is an old practice, the use of DNA from a Rhinoceros is a new practice that ends up making the whole bone stronger due to DNA replication.
DNA's Introduction
DNA is transferred through several specific stages of mitosis. Cells are also transplanted in synchronized stages for the best possible chance of acceptance.
Mitosis; Prophase
Mitosis; Anaphase
Prophase is the preparation for cell division/cytokinesis.
Anaphase is when the cell's chromosomes break in half and move to separate sides of the cell; second best odds for acceptance in transplantation.
Mitosis; Telophase
Mitosis; Metaphase
The point in mitosis in which the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell; the most common transplant/introduction phase for foreign DNA.
The nuclear envelope reforms, and the cell has two separate nuclei, in preparation for cytokinesis.
