Scientists have found a way of growing arms and legs

Biologists have identified a gene that promotes regeneration.

Experts from the Biological laboratory of the island of mount desert has discovered a gene that promotes regeneration in animals. According to scientists, it can help to grow new limbs including the people, as stated on the website of the scientific center.

Scientists studied the genome of organisms that have the ability to regenerate, with the help of sequencing technologies, through which is determined the structure of DNA. In the end, it was found that in each of them there are common genetic mechanisms.

It is noted that the common ancestor for most living organisms existed 420 million years ago. Descendants of his are, including people. Scholars therefore believe that they should also possess these genes.
