cloning pros and cons

• What Makes Science 'Science'?

Here are some of the data from the 74 graduates that I've surveyed to date: * 76% equated a fact with 'truth' and 'proven' * 23% defined a theory as 'unproven ideas' with less than half (47%) recognizing a theory as a well evidenced exposition of a natural phenomenon * 34% defined a law as a rule not to be broken, and forty-one percent defined it as an idea that science fully supports. * Definitions of 'hypothesis' were the most consistent, with 61% recognizing the predictive, testable nature of hypotheses. Given the numerous news stories that require an understanding of how science operates - global warming, cloning, the possible dangers posed by cell phones or the pros and cons of genetically modified crops - understanding the difference between a fully fledged scientific theory that...

• A Nuanced Knockout

For synthetic small interfering RNAs, for example, there are cationic lipid reagents to neutralize RNAi negative charge and ease it through the cell membrane; chemical modifications to protect RNA from nucleases and block immune and other off-target effects; and 27mers (longer strands of RNA), which may be taken up more efficiently. Pros: *shRNA provides more flexibility with tissue targeting *Users can switch different encoded RNAs into an optimized viral-delivery protocol * Viral specificity for distinct cell types can be harnessed for targeting Cons: * Variability in knockdown efficiency * Cloning viral vectors takes longer than using straight siRNA * Many viral vectors take time to turn on expression The bottom line: "Not all shRNAs are alike," says Paskowitz.
