Scientists and engineers in Victoria, for example, are working on innovative adaptive optics systems for Gemini and, with partners in the U.K., built the first "facility-class" instrument, the GMOS spectrograph, delivered to Gemini North last year. GMOS produced a spectacular image dubbed the "perfect spiral galaxy". GMOS will be used by astronomers to study the most distant galaxies known in our Universe. 3, record 5, English, - Gemini%20multiple%2Dobject%20spectrograph

GMOS (Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph) est un spectrographe multi-objets spécialement conçu pour les deux télescopes Gemini. Il est capable d'observer simultanément des centaines d'étoiles, de galaxies ou de quasars extrêmement faibles avec une précision sans précédent. Il peut aussi obtenir des milliers de spectres de sections individuelles d'astres étendus comme des galaxies ou des nébuleuses. GMOS est opérationnel depuis octobre 2001 sur Gemini North alors que celui qui équipe Gemini South est commissionné en ce moment même et devrait être déclaré opérationnel très prochainement. 3, record 5, French, - spectrographe%20multi%2Dobjets%20Gemini

Transformation requires an efficient vector to bring about integration of foreign DNA into the host genome. A number of possible vehicles for use in plants are under investigation , including the use of the crown gall tumour inducing Ti plasmid from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the double-stranded DNA caulimoviruses (e.g. cauliflower mosaic virus), the single-stranded gemini viruses (e.g. bean golden mosaic virus), tandemly repeated plant genes such as those for ribosomal RNA, and the transposable element of maize. 1, record 14, English, - single%2Dstranded%20gemini%20virus
