    Rhino horns look different from the natural unicorn horns. Narwhal horns look more similar to it, so why not uss those instead?

      Miss Seaweed because a narwal's horn is actually a giant tooth and that would probably make something weird if you applied that to a horse.
      Additionally, horses and rhinos are much more closely related than narwals are to horses, it would probably be more likely to work

    Can you add a genome without subtracting another genome? Or do you lose sth? For example, if you add the horn genome, will you lose the "no horn" genome, or even something else, like say... healthy heart genome? That is, is there a cost on another characteristic, when adding genomes?

    Humans of the future might have different skin and hair colors using animal genes.

    I wanted to be genetic engineer in high school thinking I could cheat death debilitation only to latter embrace physics parameters of reality since having something published is important for another generation to pursue much like an end scene in of the "Last Emperor" where he reaches behind a steam radiator to give a kid a toy.

    If GOD Wills It; DNA Could Form
    Fire Breathing Dragons,
    Living SnowPeople,
    Electric Pegesuses,
    Alicorns.
    DNA Is The Book Of Life If We Could Reprogram It And Master It Then We Could Create ANYTHING!!!

      Agree. Genomes are like Second Life, a 3D chatroom, where coding is used to shape avatars.

    The Rhino IS the unicorn, the story about the Rhino, it was just told and retold through 1000s of years ans 1000s of people who traveled for 1000s of days retelling and misunderstanding a little for every time it was told.
