Turning Birds Into Dinosa

What if instead of chicken coops in our backyards we had dino coops?
Everybody, meet the majestic dino-chicken!

The dino-chicken is the dream of Jack Horner, famous paleontologist and Jurassic World advisor. He believes that turning birds into dinosaurs is not an impossible dream. By finding and turning on and off the genes which were responsible for turning legendary dinosaurs into everyday chickens, it just might be possible to create the dino-chicken.http://www.dailysciencenow.tk/

How can turning birds into dinosaurs improve our health?

Even if you aren’t keen on the idea of a dino-chicken, genetic research, such as that done for the dino-chicken project, is opening up new doors to improving human health.

q ahckers is an emerging approach to treating, curing, and preventing disease, by changing how our genes are expressed. There are around 4,000 known diseases that could potentially be treated with gene therapy. These include “cancer, AIDS, cystic fibrosis, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.” 2 As with our attempt to turn birds into dinosaurs, highly effective gene therapy might be way off, but it holds great potential.
