Attitudes towards human reproductive cloning, assisted reproduction and gene selection: a survey of 4600 British twins.
BACKGROUND Surveys have shown opposition to human reproductive cloning (HRC) in many countries. Views of identical (monozygotic, MZ) twins are of particular interest, as they naturally share 100% of their genes. We investigated attitudes of British twins towards HRC in the context of assisted reproduction technologies (ART) and gene selection. METHODS About 4651 identical and non-identical (d...
متن کاملAttitudes towards human reproductive cloning, ART and gene selection.
Sir, I was delighted to see the article of Prainsack et al. (2007) on the comparative attitudes of monozygotic (MZ) twins and dizygotic (DZ) twins on the subject of human reproductive cloning (HRC). It is true that cloning is not portrayed well in the media, and science fiction has a long history presenting us with strange new worlds where human clones are soulless carbon-copies of ‘real’ human...

متن کاملDevelopment of tools and strategies towards marker assisted selection and gene cloning / Bart Brugmans
A marker saturated linkage map of potato was used to genetically map a locus involved in resistance against wart disease Synchitrium endobioticum race 1. The locus mapped on the long arm of chromosome 4 and is named Sen1-4 in contrast to a Sen1 locus on chromosome 11. The AFLP markers from the Sen1-4 interval enabled the isolation of BAC clones from an 11 genome equivalent BAC library. This was...
