Transgenic corn co-expressing two complementary endotoxins from Bacillus thuringiensis shows promise in controlling these pernicious pests, but questions remain on how best to avoid the emergence of resistance.
If known pathways represent preferred paths through global protein networks, large-scale experiments should focus on how to recognize these paths among all of the alternatives.
The targeted disruption of two genes in sheep confirms the feasibility of gene targeting in large animals, but falls short of producing viable offspring.
Transgenic animals engineered to express a bacterial enzyme that liberates phosphate from animal feed may provide a solution to a common form of environmental pollution.
A new twist on DNA shuffling increases recombination frequency and expands access to sequence space, facilitating the engineering of new protein activities.
