...addition, Harvard plans to allocate a space for protests on its property in near the complex, since, according to Spiegelman, some of the studies—including stem cell research—will be of a controversial nature...
President George W. Bush vetoed a bill that would have lifted restrictions on stem cell research in June, but Massachusetts Governor Deval L. Patrick ’78 has decided that his state will not wait for the federal government’s consent before pressing on with the issue...
...nuclear transfer, stem cells are created by inserting the nucleus from a donor's cell, usually a skin cell, into an egg cell, whose DNA-containing nucleus has been removed. The new cell then starts to divide and produce stem cells. In some cases, however, through mistakes in the nuclear-transfer process, eggs may begin dividing on their own. And Hwang may have increased his chances of parthenogenesis by using the gentler, squeezing technique he pioneered to remove the egg's nucleus; the process may have actually left behind enough genetic material for the egg to spontaneously divide...
...find out whether Hwang's stem cells came from a single egg, Daley's team, which included leading researchers from England, Japan and Canada, conducted a whole-genome analysis of the DNA from Hwang's stem cell line. By analyzing tens of thousands of gene snippets on the cells' genomes, and comparing these signatures to those of the egg donor and of the skin cell donor, they were able to determine that the DNA fingerprint of the stem cells was consistent with that of the egg. "The genetic signature of a parthenote is very very obvious," says Daley. Because...
...latest terror to strike Iraq? Rumors of giant flesh-eating badgers in Basra. Locals even say the British army planted them. While the Brits have publicly denied the story, a new cell-phone video of the body of one of the clawed creatures has been fueling the rumor on the Internet...
