Kangaroo genome: key to open the milk option

2004/05/01 Elhuyar Zientzia Iturria: Elhuyar aldizkaria

The introduction of the gene that directs the milk production of kangaroo in the cow allows to produce milk very rich in nutrients.

In fact, the kangaroo child is an embryo at birth and, inserted in the martsupio, breast milk must be very nutritious to grow. Depending on the development phase of the kangaroo, the kangaroo produces three types of milk of different composition.

Researchers working on the decoding of the kangaroo genome believe that the introduction of the gene that produces this milk in the cow would allow obtaining especially beneficial milk to feed premature children.
