...achievement announced last week, Biochemists Howard Goodman and William Rutter and their colleagues did not work with human genes. Under the safety guidelines adopted by the National Institutes of Health (to lessen the risk of accidentally producing an E. coli that might be harmful), such less readily available material would have required a far more stringent level of physical containment in the lab than any yet available. Instead, they experimented with insulin genes from rats. Placing this foreign DNA inside enfeebled E. coli, they were delighted to find that the genetic material was replicated every time the bacteria divided...
...matter; the experimenters are convinced that they will soon be able to "switch on" the genes. Said Rutter: "I'd be surprised if it took more than a year or two." The production of human insulin will probably take much longer. Yet meanwhile, the experiments themselves should help scientists clarify the complex chemistry of insulin and better understand diabetes-which is not a single disease, as was once thought by doctors, but a variety of metabolic disorders that may afflict as many as 10 million people in the U.S. alone...
Agreeing with Leighton was Arthur C. Rutter '56, president of the Yearbook, who said, "I now lots of guys who really flipped over this whole thing.
