Essentially, the Harvard team was able to "put down" the second strand. Several scientists who worked on the 1972 teams expressed surprise yesterday that the Harvard group had decided to announce its findings with a press release, intimating that such an action may senseationalize the actual significance of the research...
...issue press releases about this," Dr. Phil Leder, chief of the Lab of Molecular Genetics at NIH and the head of the first team to publish the 1972 results in a scientific journal, said yesterday. "I guess we could have called a press conference when we made the single strand globin sequence in 1972, but we didn't think...
...simplicity of the technique the Harvard team has developed for synthesizing an entire strand of DNA from RNA now means that scientists may be able to focus more on studying the actual process of how genes regulate protein assembly in higher organisms. Thus, while the Harvard research will not carry mankind into a new era of artificially reproduced beings, it certainly is an important step towards an untimate understanding of human genetics...
...team of researchers began by synthesizing a single strand of DNA. They then used an enzyme to add a complementary second strand, forming a complete gene. A "hook" of DNA material at the end of the first strand served as a "primer," or base for the enzyme activity, Fotis C. Kafatos, professor of Biology and one member of the team, said yesterday...
Most mistakes occured at the defensive line. Field said "the goalies, Nina Strand and Ellen Seidler, both played extremely well, but Williams' J.V. made some very sophisticated moves that outmaneuvered our defense and ultimately cost us several goals...
