Scientists altered the chicken embryos to get Dinosaur snouts and study the evolution of the avian beaks.
Avian beak is the most important and prominent appendages of the animal kingdom.
The fossil record indicates that 150 million years ago, some traditional dinosaurs gradually started transitioning into avian dinosaurs.
The main purpose of this analysis was to check the genetic differences among these groups.
The activity of these genes differed from that of reptiles early in embryonic development.
With this the team was successful in controlling the growth of beaks in chicken embryo.
He further added:They actually probably wouldnt have done that badly if they did hatch.
