Cross-species genetics, to put it simply, is a concept of splicing DNA from different species together to endow the experimental subject with the cellular abilities of other species.
In fact, by 2011, such technology was already not uncommon. It had been used in the medical field since 1982, and even as early as the 1990s, genetically modified tomatoes had appeared on the US market.
But now, what Conners wanted to research was something entirely different—he intended to transplant the excellent genes of lizards into humans.
"I believe this is feasible. At the Osborne Group, they successfully created a synthetic spider with a mix of various spider traits and tried to develop more commercial applications based on that type of spider silk.
I just need to go one step further, transferring the genes of quality gene carriers to humans."
There were a lot of reptiles in Doctor Conners's lab, primarily lizards.
