They will instead be cytoplasmic hybrids or 'cybrids' 7, where cytoplasm, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), will be combined from the two species, but the genomic DNA will be uniquely human.

A new study in Nature identifies a long-sought cytoplasmic 'sensor' that is responsible, at least in part, for interferon responses induced by double-stranded DNA. How do cells detect non-self ...

There are several types of hybrid embryo (listed below), but recent controversy has focused on cytoplasmic embryos. These are created by transferring nuclei containing DNA from human cells into ...
