What is stopping someone from gene splicing the disease of choice onto heat-loving bacterium? Unlike many young development companies with no products on the market, Abgenix has been able to supplement its funding with a small but steady royalty stream from XenoMouse--the product of years of intricate gene splicing and animal cross-breeding. While breeding is restricted to genetic exchange between animals and plants that mate naturally, gene splicing transcends this natural restriction to facilitate genetic exchange between totally unrelated organisms, hence creating and introducing new types of organisms into ecosystems which have never known them. |
