Stem cell breakthrough allows male livestock to serve as ‘surrogate sires’

A breakthrough in stem cell research allowed scientists to create ‘surrogate sires’ that produce sperm with the genetic traits of a donor animal. So far the new technique has been used to create pigs, goats and cattle with the sole purpose of producing sperm with the DNA of another male.  Researchers from Washington State University … Read more

Scientists using stem cells to rescue the nearly extinct Sumatran rhino, who number less than 80
