Scientists Create Baby Mice with Two Male Parents

Scientists Create Baby Mice with Two Male Parents

Scientists in China made baby mice from two male mice, no mother needed!

They did this by changing how genes work, a process called genomic imprinting.

Normally, you need DNA from a mom and a dad.

But, they figured out how to use special tricks in the lab to make it happen with just two dads.

This is just in mice right now.

Scientists are still figuring out all the risks and how this could work in humans.

It could help us understand how our bodies grow and how we might fix certain problems with genes.
