To make use of artificial genes we need to make millions of copies of them for experiments using a process called polymerase chain reaction. By putting restriction sites into specific spots along the gene, we can cut it into bite-sized pieces that are easily duplicated millions of times. So the ability to cut and paste genes back together again is critical for designing genes to the right specifications, rapidly replicating them and putting them into vectors to genetically engineer cells.

Over the past two years, we have developed an innovative system and process for the mass production of specific DNA sequences with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Given that HA is responsible for so much pathology in the lung, if we could identify the mechanism for how that happens and then block it, perhaps it would be useful for antiviral development. With the identification of the polymerase genes contributing t
