Were what was different about the protein that had the mammoth version versus the protein team with the elephant he found the mammoth was better at caring oxygen to the body at low temperatures. This is a pretty good target for something to change if we want to take a tropical adapted elephant and turn it into arctic mammoth. Theres a team around the corner that has been working on this question compiled a list of genes that are different between elephants and mammoths. They have attempted to make 14 different swaps. To swap out 14 elephant jeans they have been successful in doing all of it. They have actually created a cell that is about 0. 001 mammoth. Thats pretty cool. Its a far cry from having a living, breathing, and elephant hybrid but it is a step in the right direction. We think hard about plan c, we see see that we have a complete genome sequence. We have the technology that would need to use to edit, swap out these jeans for things that we want to replace them with, what we
Climate change, they are a top predator that is very precisely adapted to their particular habitat. Youre youre right, when that habitat disappears, they dont have any diversity which would allow them to adapt to different habitats that are around. The bears have an interesting strategy dealing with this. We discovered recently. Not only that its happening right now for Climate Change it every time the Climate Changes rapidly in the past, the same things happen. They breed with brown bears. They produce offspring that go live as brown bears. So the jeans and polar bears but polar bears as this discreet thing. This white bear that is precisely adapted to the arctic, it would disappear is engineering traits that would allow them to survive in other environments is not the case because theyll read with brazen live in that of environment but we still not have polar bears. But absolutely. The idea for other species might be you have some that are devoid of diversity in some way, can we incr
