Pigs are mixing bowls for bird flu and human flu viruses, increasing the risk of mutations that help H5N1 spread to humans. It's still not inevitable. Bird flu was detected in a pig, ...

The cloned pigs were born with a mutation in the gene SORL1 (sortilin-related receptor 1), which is altered in up to 2–3% of all early-onset cases of Alzheimer’s in humans.

The cloned pigs were born with a mutation in the gene SORL1, which is interesting because the mutations are found in up to 2-3% of all early onset Alzheimer's cases in human beings.

The Pig-A gene plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors, which tether a multitude of proteins to the cell surface. Mutations in this X‐linked gene ...
