If you’ve ever read recent dystopian sci-fi books such as Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake or Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Windup Girl, you’d know that one of their common predictions is that in the future genetically mutated super animals will run amok and make day-to-day life very dangerous for the world’s remaining humans. Now Technology Review brings us word that scientists in China claim to have used DNA manipulation to create a stronger, faster breed of dogs that will ominously be used for various police and military operations.
It seems that there’s a mutation that naturally occurs in whippets’ myostatin genes that causes them to gain significant muscle bulk. Researchers in China have figured out how to simulate this gene mutation in other breeds of dogs and have used it to create beagles that have twice the normal muscle mass.

“[The dogs have] more muscles and are expected to have stronger running ability, which is good for hunting, police (military) applications,” Liangxue Lai, a researcher with the Key Laboratory of Regenerative Biology at the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, explained in an email to Technology Review.

Although Lai and his fellow researchers don’t plan to breed these super beagles for commercial use, their research does open the door for other groups to create and sell genetically modified pets.

What’s particularly freaky about this research is the way that they got these dogs to bulk up: They essentially injected a chemical agent into dog embryos that is designed to destroy the dogs’ myostatin genes that naturally inhibit their muscle growth. Apparently, the effects of removing this gene have been well studied and there aren’t any known averse impacts of removing it but… it’s nonetheless a wee bit disconcerting.

.i.e. The long and short of what these people are trying to say is that if they release these dogs on you if they,
1. Your ancestors will start building hospital for you.
2. Even the devil will start crying for you.

The dog dey gym?

It doesn't make it a lion or a wolf

I know that dog tho I have forgotten the name of the dog and the owners, they complained that the dog above can't ran faster then there other dog most people are scared of the dog because of it structure how I knew it was shown on dogs world around last year. Please it's not the work of any scientist

@Richybang u r so correct! I watched it on natgeo wild. The breed is called a whippet. Its a running dog, dey r usually very lean but this one was born with a muscle disorder dat blessed/ cursed her wit double d size of muscles. Not a scientific experiment.

Well crafted LIES.

@op, u can lie for Africa!!! Chei, there is God o... ok, continu!!!

hmmmm...op. these lies you are sharing.

diarris God ooooooo

That means yahoo also lied shey?

I don't think this dog exist ,probably someone playing with photoshop. this picture has been online for some time now..

The dog actually exists. it's a whippet, a breed of dogs used for racing.. Have watched a documentary about the same dog on national geographic channel
