TRANSGENIC ART by Eduardo Kac |
 | | Also contributing to the development of genetic art is Joe Davis, a contemporary artist who works with DNA synthesis technologies. |
 | | He wrote: "By taking cell samples and exposing them to fluorescent dyes that bind to different parts of the chromosome, Chromos's scientists were able to discover which animals had accepted the chromosome. |
 | | When the mice carrying the extra chromosome were crossed with normal mice, it was inherited in exactly the same way as the animals' natural chromosomes." This is an indication that human germline gene therapy is becoming a practical possibility. |
