問題詳情:
A team of Michigan State University(MSU) researchers has developed a new,more efficient way of cloning zebra fish,a breakthrough that could have an impact on research into human health.
Zebra fish are quickly becoming the animal of choice for many researchers.
“After mice,they are the most commonly used vertebrates,that is,animals with backbones,in genetic studies,”says Jose Cibelli,the leader of the team.“They are used in cancer and heartdisease research because they have many of the same genes as people have.”
For more than 20 years,zebra fish have also served as an excellent model for understanding both normal development and birth recently,research with zebra fish has extended to modeling human diseases.
Traditional cloning uses an egg and a donor(捐贈者) DNA is removed from the egg and replaced by the DNA taken from the resulting fish is an exact genetic copy of the Cibelli's technique,the egg is removed from the female zebra fish and placed in the ovarian(卵巢的) fluid of a Chinook salmon,another kind of fish,before the donor cell is placed into the previous methods of cloning zebra fish had very low survival the new technique,the number of cloned fish is increased by 15 percent.
What makes zebra fish so useful in research is that their eggs are transparent(透明的),making the fish's development easy to follow.
Improving zebrafish cloning techniques is also important because currently the mouse is the only good model for genetic research.
“So far the mouse is the only animal from which you can delete genes in a reliable way,”Cibelli says.“What researchers do is mutate(使變異) a gene,destroy its function completely,and then study the consequences.”
