In the Yale experiment, described by Biologist Francis Ruddle at an international conference on cell biology in West Berlin, he and Colleagues Jon Gordon and George Scangos isolated genes from two viruses and manufactured them in large quantities. Then, guided by a high-powered microscope and using tubes thinner than...
While the experiment offers the possibility that by changing the genetic material in the human egg, doctors may one day be able to eliminate a host of inherited diseases-including hemophilia, Tay-Sachs disease and phenylketonuria, a metabolic disorder that may result in brain damage-many basic questions must first...
Last spring's U.C.L.A. development has prompted similar questions, but the medical payoff from it may come a bit sooner. In that experiment, a team of scienlists led by Martin Cline and Winston Salser isolated genes that help produce an enzyme resistant to methotrexate, a drug used to treat...
That's what happened to Dr. John C. Long, assistant professor Pathology at Harvard-affiliated MGH, after he admitted making up the results of an experiment for an article on Hodgkin's disease which the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published last year.
After the article's publication, two of Long's colleagues suspected the authenticity of the data. One of the researchers reconstructed the experiment and determined that Long could not have completed it in the time he said he did.
