21.   Dr. Catherine Verfaillie, leader of the Minnesota team, said that the new gene therapy would be offered only to patients who could not receive a donor transplant.

22.   Early trials have been encouraging because the new genes made their way to the damaged airway cells.

23.   Genetically modified corn seed fights the corn borer, and a new gene being developed will resist corn rootworm, another destructive pest.

24.   Genetically-modified corn seed fights the corn borer, and a new gene being developed will resist corn rootworm, another destructive pest.

25.   He said he hoped the exact functions of the new gene could be determined in a couple of years.

26.   He noted that since the cystic fibrosis gene was found, all efforts to treat the lung disease by transferring new genes into lung cells have failed.

27.   If researchers can alter living cells by adding new genes, then the cells could be sent into the body to carry out specific biological tasks.

28.   In gene therapy new genes are inserted into cells, often using a virus as the vector to deliver the genes.

29.   In delivering new genes to a precisely designated site, the new method, if it works, would be safer and more effective.

30.   Information pouring out of the Human Genome Project is revolutionizing the teaching of biology as new genes are found every day.
