Both scientists and investment advisers still believe that genetic engineering has a good long-range potential. The first new products, including human insulin and a vaccine for newborn calves and pigs, are expected to appear on the market soon. Big profits, however, are still years away. A study released this...
Travelers pulling off I-90 at the Wall exit (the one with the 80-ft. dinosaur next to the Highway) thread through station wagons and campers jamming Main Street. Once inside Wall Drug, road-weary visitors are faced with a bewildering pastiche of class and kitsch. The store sells $200...
Biotechnology--the commercial use of biological processes, including genetic engineering--has received a great deal of attention from the scientific community as a potential source of medical and industrial advancements. By "splicing" and rearranging genes, researchers believe they may someday produce such crucial substances as insulin and interferon, as well...
Now foot-and-mouth may finally be checked. Last week Agriculture Secretary John Block announced that researchers from the California gene-splicing firm Genentech, Inc., in collaboration with his department's scientists, had produced a safe, effective vaccine against the disease. Like polio viruses, the tiny virus that causes...
Other gene splicers have accomplished variations of the same feat, but the Genentech-Agriculture Department team says that its production levels are a thousand times as high per bacterium as anything that has been done before. The scientists acknowledge that their vaccine is not a magic bullet against all seven...
