For the first time a 4 monkeys has been born with DNA from 3 parents.
Babies born using the new technique would inherit most of their genetic material from their mother and father. But a tiny amount – mitochondrial DNA accounts for less than 1% of all the DNA in a human body – would come from the donor of the mDNA. This genetic material would be passed on to future generations.
Interesting stuff.
