The water flea species Daphnia pulex is barely more than a millimeter long, is completely translucent, has no clear divisions between their various body parts...and has the largest genome of any animal we've ever encountered. It has an incredible 31,000 genes in its genome, over 8,000 more than humans have. (Feb 2011)

What can replace a gene in an animal's genome?

A new gene can be inserted into an animal's genome through genetic engineering techniques, such as gene editing or transgenesis. These techniques can replace a faulty gene with a functional one, or introduce a completely new gene into the genome. Additionally, gene therapy can be used to deliver therapeutic genes into an animal's cells to treat genetic disorders.
