In February 2007, seven macaques, a type of monkey fond of eating crabs, with one called "Lele," were born at the Institute of Brain Functional Genomics of East China Normal University.
As the first group of China's test-tube monkeys, their smooth birth and healthy growth is a breakthrough for test-tube baby technology, which was previously only effective on humans, not on monkeys. It also improves the success rate of China's test-tube monkey reproduction to nearly 64%, greatly exceeding the international level of 25%-35%. This has attracted the world's attention and at once lays down China's leading position in this field.
