A Case So Cold It Was Blue. The murder of newlywed Sherri Rasmussen went unsolved for 23 years, with the Los Angeles police assuming it was a burglary turned violent. Then, one morning in 2009, when a detective opened the cold-case file, he got his first clue that the killer had been under their noses the entire time. Mark Bowden gets to the core of the case, and the mystery that remains.
Genetic engineering (GE) is the modification of an organismâs genetic composition by artificial means, often involving the transfer of specific traits, or genes, from one organism into a plant or animal of an entirely different species.
Through genetic engineering, scientists have already provided substantial benefits to humans like the treatment of certain diseases, addressing environmental issues and the production of food and energy. Genetic engineering is part of a toolbox, developed from naturally-occurring processes, used by researchers to develop transgenic organisms. (these organisms have an altered genomic sequence that allows them the ability to express novel or altered proteins).
