Chinese scientists have made a massive scientific breakthrough by creating the world's first mammal with completely reprogrammed genes. The researchers conducted the experiment using the gene-editing tool CRISP and were able to bypass millions of years' worth of evolution in mice.

Changing the number of chromosomes an animal has can take millions of generations to happen in nature through the course of evolution – and now, scientists have been able to make these same changes in lab mice in a relative blink of an eye.
