I showed that a cloned DNA copy of the poliovirus RNA genome is infectious in mammalian cells. When I arrived as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of David Baltimore in 1979, the restrictions placed on cloning complete genomes from pathogenic viruses in bacterial plasmid vectors had just been lifted. Consequently David suggested that I construct a full-length DNA copy of the poliovirus RNA genome, decode the genetic information, and determine if the DNA is infectious. By the fall of 1980 I had produced three different plasmids which contained overlapping DNA copies of poliovirus RNA. For most of the next year I worked on deciphering the complet... virology blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5094816 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 17:33:58 +0100 5094816 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3016920&cid=t_221752_139_f&fid=38879&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FVirologyBlog%2F%7E3%2FlIOhrSeeNt0%2F I have had many opportunities to speak with journalists of different kinds during the more than 30 years that I have studied viruses. I wrote previously about my negative experience with CNN. I’d like to relate a much more positive encounter with newspaper reporters. As a postdoctoral fellow in David Baltimore’s laboratory I was fortunate to have found that a cloned DNA copy of the RNA genome of poliovirus is infectious in mammalian cells. It was the first such finding for an animal virus and made it possible to create and genetically modify viruses. These findings attracted a good amount of press coverage. On November 15, 1981, the New York Times published an article by Harold Schmeck entitled “Polio Virus Made With Artificial Genetic Material” (click image above f... virology blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3016920 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:00:06 +0100 3016920 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2078244&cid=t_221752_87_f&fid=35052&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FWomensBioethicsBlog%2F%7E3%2F500962462%2Fthis-looks-familiar.html Perhaps, sometimes, at the long end of a night spent counting sheep in a futile effort to get to sleep, your mind wanders from sheep to Dolly to cloning, and you find yourself wondering whatever happened to the people behind Genetic Savings and Clone. Well, thanks to an end of 2008 article by the New York Times, you'll no longer have that distraction as you count your Dolly's. It seems that Lou Hawthorne, the man behind the Missyplicity project as well as Genetics Savings and Clone, is back again with a new company. This one is named BioArts, and it started off with five public auctions for dog cloning services. And if I'm reading the NYTimes article correctly, while the company is located in the California Bay Area, actual cloning services are being provided by Hwang Woo Suk's South Korea...
