While trying to splice this gene into salmon so it too could be grown in colder waters, scientists made a second accidental discovery: they found that while the gene didn't keep the salmon from freezing, a portion...
...this is only the best known example of a war of words to tar the Republican contenders as overly sympathetic to the "Old South."
