Anderson, Richard Bryan | IMHBCO (in my humble but correct opinion) - academic libraries and the "Arming America" problem: a response to Steve McKinzie | McKinzie is careful in his recommendations: although he is deeply concerned about the "host of unwary readers" who may find in the stacks "a terribly misleading book that bases its arguments on fabricated data and deliberately misconstrued research," he emphasizes at the same time that he is not su... | 2009 | |

Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Introduction of homologous DNA sequences into mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate gene. | Injection of homologous DNA sequences into nuclei of cultured mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate chromosomal gene. It appears that these mutations result from incorrect repair of a heteroduplex formed between the introduced and the chromosomal sequence.

Kestle, John R. W. | Assessing the validity of the endoscopic shunt insertion trial: did surgical experience affect the results? | Object.
