Taking the squirm out of the worm  --  11/20/2003 
 
Hillsborough High teacher Laura Dietz (center) shows students during 
last week's project to manipulate worms' genes.   
   
"If a sequence of DNA IS_RESPONSIBLE_FOR_A_PARTICULAR_TRAIT or process, 
that gene sequence may be responsible for that trait in humans, too," 
said Laura Dietz, the group's faculty co-advisor.
   
By feeding the C. elegans bacteria that contains portions of C.remanei 
genes, they hope to *SHUT_DOWN_CERTAIN_TRAITS* in the C. elegans. This 
process, known as RNAi, will help them discover which traits — 
guiding *EVERYTHING_FROM_LOCOMOTION_TO_REPRODUCTION* —are linked with 
which gene segments...

How long before the DNA segmentz are found for:

   Car jacking
       Holding-up 7-11's
          IQ-75 Achievement Gapz
               Drive-by shooting
                    Welfare dependency
                            Out-of-wedlock breeding.....??
