Scientists are modifying catfish with alligator DNA to create hybrids for human consumption

• Scientists at Auburn University injected alligator DNA into farm-raised catfish. 
• The scientists found that the fish were more resistant to disease and less likely to reproduce. 
• They hope the new and less disease-prone catfish will one day be sold for human consumption.

Life finds a way: Geneticists have created disease-resistant catfish using alligator DNA — and they may one day become a part of our diet.
