Passage 1
With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That's a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researcher has been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah's Ark.”
Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&M's College of Veterinary Medicine a nd a pioneer in embryo(胚胎) transfer work and related procedures, says he salut es the Chinese effort and “I wish them all the best success possible. It's a wo rthwhile project, certainly not an easy one, and it's very much like what we're attempting here at Texas A&M—to save animals from extinction.”
Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos, semen(精子) and DNA of endang ered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should beco me extinct, Kraemer says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to r eintroduce the species in the future. 本文来自
