One surprise revealed by the genome work was that honeybees seemed to have a dearth of some gene families in select areas: taste, immunity and cell detoxification.

By suppressing genes that are active in the developing embryo, silenced just before birth, and re-activated years later in many advanced cancers, the let - 7 family of «microRNAs» — tiny snippets of RNA that can put the brakes on expression of selected genes — appears to prevent human cancer cells from reasserting their prenatal capacity to divide rapidly, travel and spread.

According to Dr. Burgess, the team is now working to extend the period that sperm cells can be cultured, so there is more time to select cells that have the foreign gene inserted in specific areas of the genome in what is commonly called a «targeted gene knockout.»
