00:39:22,326 --> 00:39:24,528
THERE ARE A WHOLE SET OF GOATS
THAT LOOK LIKE THIS,
817
00:39:24,595 --> 00:39:26,797
AND IT'S NOT JUST ONE GOAT.
818
00:39:26,864 --> 00:39:29,734
THIS WASN'T A ONE-OFF CASE
OF SOME RANDOM DEFORMITY
819
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,168
OR EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS.
820
00:39:31,235 --> 00:39:33,037
THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS
PASSED ON GENETICALLY.

NEUROSCIENTIST JADE LOVELL
INVESTIGATES WHETHER SOMEONE
823
00:39:38,275 --> 00:39:41,479
COULD HAVE DELIBERATELY
MEDDLED WITH THIS GOAT'S DNA.
824
00:39:41,545 --> 00:39:43,414
WITH GENETIC MODIFICATION
TECHNOLOGY
825
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:44,949
AND PARTICULARLY WITH CRISPR,
826
00:39:45,015 --> 00:39:49,153
IT'S POSSIBLE TO CREATE ANIMALS
THAT DON'T EXIST IN NATURE.
827
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:51,922
Ramkisoon: CRISPR-CAS9 IS
ESSENTIALLY GENE EDITING,
828
00:39:51,989 --> 00:39:53,457
AND IT ALLOW US TO CREATE
829
00:39:53,524 --> 00:39:56,127
GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS
VERY QUICKLY.
830
00:39:56,193 --> 00:39:58,429
SO IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THIS IS
SOME SORT OF
831
00:39:58,496 --> 00:40:00,464
GENETIC EXPERIMENT GONE WRONG.

00:40:00,531 --> 00:40:02,700
Narrator: RECENT ADVANCES
IN GENE SPLICING
833
00:40:02,767 --> 00:40:05,970
HAVE ALLOWED SOME TRULY
BIZARRE ANIMALS TO BE CREATED.

Narrator:
THESE EERILY GLOWING ANIMALS
837
00:40:11,776 --> 00:40:14,812
HAVE HAD JELLYFISH GENES
SPLICED INTO THEIR DNA.

USING GENETIC MODIFICATION,
839
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:18,749
IT HAS ALLOWED US
TO CREATE MICRO PIGS

DESPITE ITS GRUESOME APPEARANCE,
845
00:40:29,660 --> 00:40:32,363
MIGHT NEVERTHELESS
BE JUST A GOAT.
846
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:34,498
THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY
A CASE OF CROSSBREEDING.
847
00:40:34,565 --> 00:40:38,135
IT'S A CASE OF INBREEDING WHERE
TWO ANIMALS WITH VERY DISTINCT,
848
00:40:38,202 --> 00:40:40,037
SIMILAR FEATURES
ARE BRED TOGETHER
849
00:40:40,104 --> 00:40:41,639

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS,

00:40:43,541 --> 00:40:46,877
HUMANS HAVE BRED ANIMALS
TO ENHANCE SPECIFIC TRAITS.
852
00:40:46,944 --> 00:40:49,280
WE HAVE MINIATURE DOGS.
WE HAVE HAIRLESS CATS.

INBREEDING CARRIES

RISKS FOR THE SPECIES
BEING MODIFIED.
857
00:40:58,756 --> 00:41:00,391
INBREEDING CAN ACTUALLY
BE DANGEROUS
858
00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:03,527
BECAUSE YOU CAN MAGNIFY
OTHER DETRIMENTAL FEATURES.
859
00:41:03,594 --> 00:41:06,964
FOR EXAMPLE, BULLDOGS OFTEN
HAVE TROUBLE BREATHING.

00:41:07,031 --> 00:41:09,333
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS GOAT
HAS ANY TROUBLE
