...first stage of the experiment, NIH'S Malcolm Martin and Wallace Rowe will splice DNA from the polyoma virus (which causes tumors in mice but not in humans) into a specially engineered strain of the common bacteria Escherichia coli. The bacteria will be fed to or injected into mice and hamsters, which will then be examined to determine 1) if the bacteria multiply into progeny that also contain the viral DNA, and 2) if the bacteria-carried viral DNA can cause tumors in the animals...
...pass through a steam sterilizer and a disinfectant bath; the very air in the boxes will flow through an incinerator before it is vented outside. Even if an altered organism escapes, it should pose no threat. All P-4 experiments must be conducted with a weakened strain of E. coli that cannot survive outside the special conditions...
Fink said that he and two assistants have been able to isolate complex DNA containing genes from the chromosomes of the yeast cells, and to successfully transfer them to the much simpler E. coli chromosomes...
...Gerald Fink of Cornell University spoke before a crowd of approximately 150 at the Medical School yesterday to describe his recently successful experiments in recombinant DNA research with yeast cells and the E. coli bacillus...
Despite repeated warnings from the Cambridge Experiment Review Board (CERB), a team of Harvard biologists presses on with what it calls "ground-breaking" experiments using even more obscure strains of E. coli recombinant DNA. At 11:30 on December 31, the head of the research team announces that "a cancer cure may be only fifteen minutes away." At midnight, he turns into a pumpkin...
