    What kind of animals/plants can we make used DNA recombinant techniques. They could be realistic or otherwise. Here are my suggestions.
    1. Tomato genes inserted into a clam. Clam produces Clamato juice.
    2. Sturgeon genes into a frog. Amphibian caviar.
    3. Sheep genes into a whale. Wooly Whale.
    4. Whale genes into a sheep. Giant swimming sheep.

    Oh man, I guess I'm just ina weird mood. But there must be practical applications....right??

    Your forgetting a few things.

    For one thing, You need many many genes to accomplish something like that, plus you need the animals to survive. I dont know how long a clam could survive in tomato juice?!

    Nope still not as weird as the spider/goat combination. I still don't believe they did it. Human hearts in pigs, also weird!

    Where will it end? Man+Monkey= Planet of the Apes

    Facetious thread, I think, so... a gravy gene into a potato plant.
