 | | An Australian company on Tuesday lifted the glass cloche on a meatball made of lab-grown cultured meat using the genetic sequence from the long-extinct mammoth, saying it was meant to fire up public debate about the hi-tech treat. “This is not an April Fools joke,” said Tim Noakesmith, founder of Vow. “This is a real innovation.” Vow used publicly available genetic information from the mammoth and filled in missing parts with genetic data from its closest living relative, the African elephant. The cells were then grown in the lab until there were enough to roll up into the meatball. Unfortunatley, the mammoth meatball is a one-off and has not been tasted, even by its creators, nor is it planned to be put into commercial production. Cultivated meat (aka 'cultured' or 'cell-based' meat) is made from animal cells. More than 100 companies around the world are working on cultivated meat products, but Singapore is the only country to have approved cell-based meat for consumption. Vow is hoping to sell its first product — a cultivated Japanese quail meat — there later this year. Source: AP |
