...there is a good chance that the enemy can be held in check. To follow the advance of the virus, and the measures taken to outwit it. TIME gathered up-to-the-minute reports from a dozen nations in the Far East and Europe. See MEDICINE, The War on Mutant...
...Medical School student named Ann M. Michelson and a mouse named "Funny-foot" may have taken a giant step forward toward the cure for muscular dystrophy. Miss Michelson's research on "Funny-foot's" mutant genes resulted in a $50,000 grant for extensive exploration along the lines of heredity...
...course, but Manx cats are not ordinary cats. They are not even hybrids between cats and rabbits, as some Manxmen believe. According to Zoologist Frederick Zeuner of London, they are genetic freaks: "mutations with a tailless characteristic apparently linked with high-leggedness." The type probably originated when one tailless, mutant tomcat managed to impress his character on a large number of descendants. The name of this Adam torn is not known, or even whether he operated in the Isle of Man, but ever since his time, cat breeders interested in taillessness have been frustrated by the capriciousness of his divergent...
...years' experimentation with tissue cultures at the Institute, Dr. Wilton R. Earle transformed normal cells to cancerous cells by treatment with 20-methyl-cholanthrene, a coal-tar chemical. In an effort to determine what takes place in the mutant cells, he now plans to destroy existing cultures and re-outfit his laboratory for a fresh attack on the baffling problem...
Last week Dr. Bridges published in Science further researches with charts clearly showing a gene maneuver associated with the appearance of abnormally small eyes in the fly. This mutation, discovered in 1913, was christened "Bar." Some true-breeding strains showing the Bar mutant developed other mutations in which the eye was even further reduced ("Bar-double") or returned to normal ("Bar-reverted...
