Chinese Firm Can Now Produce 500 Cloned Pigs Per Year

Posted by Soulskill on from the baconators-for-all dept.

Sockatume writes "According to an article published by the BBC, Chinese firm BGI has refined cloning procedures to the point where they can produce 500 pigs per year, performing two embryo implantations per day with a 70-80% success rate. Much of the operation is concerned with producing genetically-engineered animals for research. The biotech firm's other work includes million-individual-scale animal and plant genetic sequencing."

    Don't understand your post, is this a religious thing?

    If so; please count me out, I hate religion. Turns ostensibly sensible people into *nutters*.
