Genetically Modified China
Multinational biotech companies have a strong presence in China with many GMOs approved for import and processing; and transgene contamination is inevitable
Prof. Joe Cummins, 8th September 2010

Ten years of the Human Genome
Reams of Data and No Progress in Sight. Advances in DNA sequencing and computation technologies have heralded in ‘big biology’ and massive proliferation of data but no progress in understanding life, health or disease; the life science community is caught between the Scylla of reductionism and Charybdis of ‘systems biology’
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, 27th July 2010
