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.....??
