Basis of comparison |
Cybrid |
Hybrid |
---|---|---|
Define | Two nucleated cells are fused to create Cybrids. | Two nucleated cells are fused to create hybrids. |
Also known as | Cytoplasmic hybrids or heteroplasts | Somatic hybrids |
Application | Studies on mitochondria: mixed human-animal cybrid embryos and cybrids that offer hints of mitochondrial involvement in illnesses including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other ailments. | Using hybridoma technology to study the regulation of cell division, and neural expression, look at malignant transformation, replicate viruses, get gene or chromosomal expression, and produce monoclonal antibodies. |
Process | There is just cytoplasmic fusion. | Fusion of the cytoplasm and nucleus is involved. |
Commonness | Less common | More common |
Animal and plant-based research | primarily engaged in research using animal | research based on both plants and animals. |
Difference Between Cybrids and Hybrids
Two eukaryotic cell lines are combined to create cybrids and hybrids. They are wildly popular in the field of cytogenetics. Heteroplasts and cytoplasmic hybrids are other names for hybrids. Somatic hybrids, on the other hand, are known as hybrids. Through hybridoma technology, these cell lines may be used to produce monoclonal antibodies and to study diseases, gene expression, population genetics, evolution, malignant transformation, viral replication, and gene or chromosomal mapping.
