- Title
Clone on the range: What animal biotech is bringing to the table.
- Authors
Dove, Alan W
- Abstract
The article presents information on Biotech animals that do not have the market value of biotech drugs and potential controversies loom large, but genetic screening technologies are already finding a market, and both cloned and transgenic animals may soon be on the menu. Traditionally, agricultural science has been the poor cousin of biology, and animal biotechnology has followed that tradition. Even sequencing the genomes of chickens and cattle, arguably two of the world's most important sources of food, required a major campaign for funding. For companies hoping to profit from the new trove of genomic data, the hurdles get even higher.
