Since canines share more disease patterns with humans than any other animal species apart from mice, animal reproduction experts like Lee and Kim Min Kyu at Chungnam National University see dogs as a great medical resource. "Dogs have similiar physiology and can communicate with humans,' explains Lee. He is currently working on producing a "transgenic" dog - or a dog whose DNA is manipulated to either delete or introduce new genes - to enable scientists...

...pressure on DRAM makers won't significantly ease up anytime soon. Though prices may stabilize in the short term, iSuppli's Kim doesn't expect a meaningful recovery until the second half of 2009. That turnaround will likely be driven by a sharp reduction in new capacity. Kim expects investment in chip-making facilities to fall 63% in 2009 as cash-strapped manufacturers finally scale back. Until then, however, DRAM makers will be lucky to survive - at least until the next downturn...
