1. Transgenic animals are genetically altered to produce proteins in their milk. 2. And they expect genetically engineered goats to start producing the protein in the next few months. 3. Athersys maintains that since the protein is produced without isolating or even knowing anything about the gene, the protein can be used without infringing patents on the gene. 4. Biotech scientists took the genes that produce human proteins such as insulin and pasted these genes into bacteria. 5. Bt produces a protein that is deadly to corn-eating insects. 6. But first, during the short greenhead season the researchers must capture enough flies to provide a stockpile of the tiny salivary glands that produce the protein, chrysoptin. 7. But Fran ois Pothier of Laval University in Quebec believes that male pigs could produce enough protein in their semen for it to rival milk. 8. But Venter sidestepped this problem with a second set of clones that did not produce proteins. 9. Choosing a group of genes known to produce proteins involved in male reproduction, Wu showed that they had evolved considerably faster than other human genes. 10. Cloning experiments confirmed the same protein is produced in humans. |
