Ever since the genetic code was cracked in the 1960s, biologists have believed the language of DNA to be rather like the Latin of the medieval church: universal, fundamental and indispensable. It seemed that all creatures, from men to mice to humble E. coli bacteria, shared the same basic instructions for making proteins, the building blocks of life; variations among organisms were thought to involve only the number and type of proteins that are strung together. Now researchers in the U.S., Europe and Japan have found species + that defy certain words in the genetic scripture: in the familiar Paramecium...

...dangers associated with the project are expected to be minimized by conducting the experiments in secure laboratories, originally designed for use in germ-warfare testing at Fort Detrick in Frederick. Md Additionally, the strain of E. coli being used in the research is a special breed which does not survive well outside a laboratory...

...stepped the gene splicers from Genentech, who managed to isolate the gene in the virus that orders up the production of VP3. A molecular fragment containing these instructions was then spliced into a plasmid, or small circular collection of DNA, taken from an E. coli bacterium. Then the plasmid and its "recombined" DNA were inserted back into E. coli. Not only did the recipient bacteria begin cranking out VP3, but all their offspring reproduced the protein as well...
