英国科学家近日培养出全球首只基因改造苍蝇,这种基因改造“杀手”被注入毒药,若它与同类繁衍后代时会将毒药传播给下一代,最终其后代因无解药而死亡。整个族群亦会被尽数灭绝,科学家认为这项技术将在消灭害虫上带来重大突破。科学家透露,他们先将一串注有毒药的致命的脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)注入在一种无害苍蝇的幼卵内,然后再为它们注入“解药”。若这种基因改造的“杀手”苍
British scientists have recently cultivated the world’s first genetically modified flies. This genetic modification “killer” is infused with poisons. If it spreads poisons to the next generation when it is similar to that of other generations, its offspring will eventually die of no remedy. The entire community will also be extinct, scientists believe that this technology will bring about a major breakthrough in the elimination of pests. Scientists revealed that they first injected a string of poisoned deadly DNA into a harmless fly’s eggs before injecting them with “antidote.” If this genetically modified “killer” Cang
