Genetically modified sperm : ウィキペディア英語版 | Genetically modified sperm Genetically modified sperm (GM sperm) is sperm that has undergone genetic modification for biomedical purposes, including the elimination of genetic diseases or infertility.〔(Animals From Genetically Modified Sperm )〕 Although the procedure has been tested on animals such as fish,〔(Genetically modified sperm in fish )〕 pigs, and rabbits, it remains relatively untested on humans.〔(Scientists 'five years away' from creating human sperm and eggs in a laboratory )〕 In the case of pigs, the goal of research is to inexpensively produce organs and supplement the shortage of donated human organs. Although GM sperm has the potential to detect and treat genetic diseases, it will likely take many years for successful use in patients. ==Process==
In genetic modification, genes are inserted into living cells in order to change how proteins are created. A viral vector is often used to deliver the gene of interest to the chromosomes in the cell nucleus. Every daughter cell will reflect the genetic modification.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.geneticsandsociety.org/article.php?id=286 )〕
