Recombinant DNAStanley Cohen of Stanford and Herbert Boyer of
the University of California at San Francisco showed that segments
of DNA from two species, once joined, could be put back into a living
cell, where they would replicate. Their gene-splicing work -- in
essence, a practical method for transplanting genes from one species
to another -- led to the creation of the biotechnology industry. |
