Russia, Belarus launch project to obtain transgenous milk
MINSK. Sept 11 (Interfax) - Belarussian and Russian researchers are
preparing to incorporate a human gene into goats in order to obtain milk
with improved qualities.
"In the middle of September, human genes taken from human breast milk will
be transferred into 100 goats. Embryos will be removed from donor goats,
human genes will be transferred into them and the embryos will be
incorporated into recipient goats," BelRosTransgen project director,
Belarussian researcher Alexander Budevich told Interfax.
"Genes taken from human breast milk will be brought to Belarus from Russia.
The experiment is expected to produce milk with unique immunity- enhancing
qualities," Budevich said.
