Jacob Halaska, ©Index Stock Imagery Researchers like mice. US government statistics reveal that the whiskered ones show up in 90% of all experiments. Mice come cheap, procreate often, and die fairly quickly. And although evolution separates mouse from human by an estimated 75 to 100 million years, biologically and genetically speaking, they share a lot; as much as 85% of the DNA in mice is the same in humans. The research ground that mice have domineered for a century, however, is reced

AUTHOR: RICKI LEWIS, pp.18 In just over a decade, genetically engineered mice have brought dramatic changes to the biomedical sciences, offering basic researchers ways to detect the influences of single genes and more clinically oriented investigators compellingly close models of human disease. The following suppliers are among those providing transgenic and knockout mice to researchers. Charles River Laboratories 251 Ballardvale St. Wilmington, Mass. 01887 (508) 658-6000 Products: OncoM
Planning the Future of Plant Genomics
Eugene Russo | Jul 21, 2002 | 5 min read
Image: Courtesy of National Sciences Foundation Arabidopsis Plant genomics researchers stand at a crossroads. Behind them are the completed genome sequences of rice1 and the model mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana.2 Now, armed with insights gained from both plant and animal sequencing projects, plant biologists must decide how to proceed with future sequencing, proteomics, and functional genomics endeavors--and how to allot precious basic research dollars while, at the same time, keeping
