	Cloning Fact Sheet
		Scientists studying a particular gene often use bacterial plasmids to generate multiple copies of the same gene.
		Before this demonstration, scientists believed that once a cell became specialized as a liver, heart, udder, bone, or any other type of cell, the change was permanent and other unneeded genes in the cell would become inactive.
		Scientists hope that one day therapeutic cloning can be used to generate tissues and organs for transplants.

	[Coral-List] scientists' deep-sea coral statement
		In July 2003 MCBI Chief Scientist Lance Morgan and I drafted a statement and circulated it to deep-sea experts to ensure its accuracy.

		In short, based on current knowledge, deep-sea coral and sponge communities appear to be as important to the biodiversity of the oceans and the sustainability of fisheries as their analogues in shallow tropical seas.
