...Mice that lack CatSper have sex just as often as normal mice. The mutant males, however, are infertile...
GLOWING RESULTS What makes ovarian cancer so deadly is that there's no foolproof way to catch it early. Now researchers have developed an extremely sensitive test that finds tumors when they're still tiny--at least in mice. The animals were injected with a gene that infects only cancer cells and produces a protein that glows under fluorescent light...
...work, which may have applications for vaccines, Dietrich’s work on anthrax focused on genes that cause cells to resist the toxin. In a paper published in this week’s Current Biology, Dietrich describes two alleles, or versions of a gene, that help mice fight off anthrax infections...

What the Duke researchers showed is that one gene, called IGF2R, which helps brake growth, is normally imprinted in sheep, cows and mice but not in humans. Human clones would always inherit nonimprinted IGF2R genes, so there would be no chance of a mix-up and, at least in this respect, their growth would be normal. But what of the other 49 or so imprinted genes? No one knows what trouble they might cause. So the fact that humans have one less imprinted gene than mice, sheep or cows means that human cloning might be marginally easier, but not necessarily...
