The Genetic Revolution
An idea I have that is pretty neat but I have no idea if it would work or not.

This article examines a theory of aging based on the belief that cellular mutations are responsible for much of the aging process.
Can a pig that has adapted to the cold of central Canada be able to survive the tundra? The Ice Hog is a mammal that has thick hair which coats its entire body unlike a regular pig which has a dry or thinly coated underbelly.
Quite possibly one of the oddest looking animals out there and certainly an inspiration for science fiction characters from Blade, Alien and a bunch of others. Decide for yourself if the Star Nosed Mole is science fact or fiction.
Ever wonder if nature and science could combine to make new and improved psychedelic creatures? Me neither, but a team of French geneticists have been trying some theories with a unique success. They have created a Glow in the Dark Rabbit.
There are several genes known to be involved with skin pigmentation. These are: SLC24A5, MC1R, SLC45A2, ASIP, MATP, TYR, and OCA2. The most important of these genes in suspected order is SLC45A5 (solute carrier family 24, member 5), MC1R (melanocortin one receptor) and finally SLC45A2 (solute carrier family 45, member 2). So what does all that science jargon mean?
Does genetic engineering seem more innocent than it really is?
Selective breeding and its many techniques. this also outlines benefits and concerns of said techniques.
A brief description on genetic cloning and its many techniques. This also outlines benefits and concerns of the different processes.
In the animal world, sometimes there are mutant animals such as black or white animals
among the regular colored animals.
