16 By changing the tomato's genetic blueprint , scientists can alter the rate at which it ripens.
17 Researchers are gradually deciphering the genetic structure found in the cells of organisms.
18 A person's genetic makeup has a strong influence on the likelihood that they catch HIV.
19 Professors who wish to work with human genetic material need clearance from their university's review board.
20 This increases the vulnerability of crops to a major outbreak of pests or diseases; so the old breeds are needed for their valuable genetic material.
21 The proposal for genetic modification involves to insert a fluorescent protein into the virus.

23 Professor Hawking says that in the coming millennium genetic engineering will succeed in making human beings more intelligent, with larger brains.
24 More than half the variance between people in intelligence is also genetic, Mr. Shane reports, adding that smarter people "tend to be less satisfied with their jobs."
25 Over the last decade it has become increasingly apparent that a person's genetic makeup has a strong influence on the likelihood of them catching HIV.
26 Using a new database of genetic traits, a group of scientists have discovered that humankind's most common ancestor with other placental mammals was a rat-sized animal with a long tail that likely lived on insects.
27 The most significant advantages of genetically modified crops for the developing world are that farmers would have higher yields: they would be able to produce food using fewer inputs: less pesticide, less fertilizer.
28 Even so, the National Cancer Institute is intrigued enough to be providing a million dollars of funding to produce enough of the genetically engineered cold virus.
29 They have used a genetically engineered form of the common cold virus to destroy human brain tumor cells that had been injected into mice.
30 Researchers have discovered that the children of these patients are genetically predisposed to cancer.
