...Harvard research team—led by Professor of Genetics George M. Church, M.D.-Ph.D. student Jay A. Shendure, and fourth-year genetics graduate student Greg Porrec—announced last week, in the journal Science, that it has developed a faster and less expensive way to sequence DNA...
...that harvesting their eggs is extraordinarily labor intensive. You can get cow eggs from a slaughterhouse and incubate them to maturity in the lab. But because very few dog eggs will mature outside of a dog, viable eggs have to be extracted surgically. Once you have inserted the DNA you want to clone and tricked the eggs into becoming embryos, moreover, you can't just implant them at will in a surrogate bitch. Cows, goats and sheep can be thrown into estrus--readiness for pregnancy--by giving them a hormone shot. Not dogs. "You have to monitor hundreds...
...what comes next, GS&C has stored the DNA of several rare or endangered animals in its cryogenic freezers, including two types of antelope. But, as the world was reminded last week, the biggest breakthroughs in cloning are now coming from Asia--not just South Korea but also China and Singapore. Hwang won't say what he's planning, but the next logical step would be to clone a primate. Human cloning may still be anathema, but the world seems to be inching ever closer. --Reported by Cathy Booth Thomas/Dallas and Alice Park/New York
...lead the Human Genome Project, which has now revealed all of the 3 billion letters of our own DNA instruction book. I am also a Christian. For me scientific discovery is also an occasion of worship...
...treatment. However, mentally ill people are more likely to be the victims of violence than the perpetrators of violence. The other myth is that somehow, this is a by-product of bad parenting. The research shows is that mental illness has a genetic component. So it's more a DNA thing than a parenting thing, although there are environmental factors and triggers, and stress triggers and trauma triggers and drug triggers as well...
