An alligator swallowing a catfish
  • 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.
