Remembering biochemist Kary Mullis, who was born on this day in 1944.
Mullis was tired. He was out driving a distance he had driven so many times that he could drive it in his sleep. It was dark and his thoughts wandered. After a while, all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. He finally had to stop his car to think properly.
Mullis was awarded the Chemistry Prize for his invention of the process known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in which a small amount of DNA can be copied in large quantities over a short period of time. By applying heat, the DNA molecule's two strands are separated and the DNA building blocks that have been added are bonded to each strand. With the help of the enzyme DNA polymerase, new DNA chains are formed and the process can then be repeated. PCR has been of major importance in both medical research and forensic science.

WHAT ARE CHIMERAS??

Chimeras are animals composed of cells that originate from two (or more) different species. In the research lab, chimeras are created by introducing cells from one species into the developing embryo or fetus of another. (The name chimera comes from Greek mythology and describes a creature with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a serpent). The first chimeras helped scientists understand questions about developmental biology. A sheep-goat chimera, created in 1984, had the head of a goat and the woolly coat of a sheep.
A more ambitious goal of making chimeras is the production of sheep, pigs, and cows with human hearts, kidneys, livers, and pancreases to use in transplants.
