    National Geographic and DNA

    There is an interesting article in this month’s National Geographic magazine about manipulation of DNA to help eradicate and cure varioous illnesses. it even mentions muscular dystrophy! As usual these articles are informatibve and well written and can help you undertsand what exactly is going on in those research clincis on our behalf.
    It is also interesting to note that one of the biggest restrictions to progress are human beings. theya re afraid of the consequences of introducing modified DNA into the gene pool. Something that happens every day with each new birth. But thats a whole bew arguement.

    I cannot post a link as it is delivered to my door. You can buy it in places like ASDA. If I can find a link I will send it on but I may not be able to get one for a while.

    Is this it?

    It appears to let me load it once but then force subscription, not sure if it’ll work

    Its all visible to me, but I am a subscriber. we are up against copyright problems here, that is why i am not sure if it can be made more widely available.

    It definitely lets me load it once and read the article for free. It’s multiple loading that makes it prompt you for subscription. :)
