'Planimal' Cells Retain Nearly Entire Algal Genome After Experimental Cell Fusion
The hybrid cells retained nearly the entire algal genome through 155 generations, but most transferred genes were silenced, researchers said.

'Planimal' cells retain nearly entire algal genome after experimental cell fusion
Most DNA in an organism is inherited from its parent or parents. This form of genetic inheritance is referred to as vertical inheritance because genes are passed down from generation to generation.
For the first time in the world, researchers have succeeded in inserting the entire genome of a plant (algae) into an animal cell. A joint Japanese research team, including researchers from the University of Tokyo, succeeded in transplanting the entire DNA of an algae into cultured animal cells and maintaining it stably. This marks the world's first creation of a plant-animal hybrid cell that preserves the entire genomes of two evolutionarily d…
