Scientists just created female clones of male mice

AI Summary

Japanese scientists created female clones of male mice by removing the Y chromosome using CRISPR technology. This groundbreaking research achieved a novel genetic transformation, with implications for reproductive biology.

Scientists have deliberately turned male mouse embryos into females for the first time. A team based in Japan used a CRISPR-based approach to remove the Y chromosome from male cells and create female clones of male mice.  “No one has done this before,” says Monika Ward, a reproductive biologist at the University of Hawaii, who…
