Genetically modified dromedary cells to make cheaper drugs is the experiment carried out by researchers in Dubai who are working on products to treat, among others, diabetes and haemophilia. The cost of dromedary milk, experts say, is similar to that of cows but better for the local climate. According to the Afriqueinfos website, the head of the reproductive biology laboratory of the reproductive centre of camels of the Emirates, Nisar Wani, said his equipe ''is working on the creation of dromedary cells and changing their composition by inserting external DNA''. The cells selected belong to dromedaries producing the most milk and best resisting to the dry climate, he said: ''Those cells will be used in the production of transgenic animals or genetically modified dromedaries''. The first injection of cloned genes should take place at the end of 2012, he added.
