Abstract
Histories of science yet to be written will view the latter half of this century as the Age of Molecular Genetics. From a flash of insight that yielded the double helix (1) to the first genetic clone of a mammal (2), molecular genetics has invaded every aspect of biological research. Initially, this molecular-genetic onslaught was limited to species, such as bacteria, yeast, nematodes, and fruit flies, whose size and life cycle constituted an economy of scale that was advantageous to breeding (3). With the introduction of gene-knockout techniques to mice (4), however, molecular genetics now is storming mammals (5, 6). In the broadest sense, the recent paper by Guzowski and McGaugh (7) represents a vanguard of this invasion. By using antisense oligonucleotides as “pharmaceutical” disruptors of gene expression, they have liberated molecular genetics from breeding. Endogenous regulation of gene expression has been outflanked by exogenous control.
