La modificación genética mediante la transferencia de genes individuales de una especie a otra fue lograda por primera vez en 1973. [...] La capacidad de utilizar microbios para "hacer que se desarrollen" genes de cualquier organismo, condujo a una capacidad nunca antes soñada para analizar los genes. [...] La modificación genética en animales, la clonación de mamíferos, se anunció en 1997. [...] Así, en teoría, sería posible remover el material genético de un óvulo y reemplazarlo con el material genético de una célula adulta, permitiendo, de esa manera, que los genes de la célula adulta dirijan el desarrollo del animal. 5, record 2, Spanish, - modificaci%C3%B3n%20de%20genes

By combining proteins from viruses with inorganic elements commonly used as semiconductors, the UT Austin research team produced hybrid materials called electronic biocomposite materials. Biocomposite materials exist in nature in the form of such substances as shell and bone. By extending the processes that result in naturally occurring biocomposites to substances commonly used in construction of electronic components, the scientists said they are paving the way for development of a host of technological marvels-potential building blocks for transistors, wires, connectors, sensors and computer chips far smaller than anything manufactured so far. 5, record 5, English, - biocomposite
