John Ohlfest, Ph.D., Elizabeth Pluhar, D.V.M., Ph.D., and Jaime Modiano, D.V.M., Ph.D., have been featured in newspapers across the country including the Atlanta Journal Constitution, St. Louis Post Dispatch, Monterey Herald in Monterey, Calif., Republican American in Waterbury, Conn., The Courant in Hartford, Conn., and also locally on the front page of the Minnesota Daily about a experimental treatment for "Batman," a dog with a brain tumor. The story originally appeared in the Star Tribune.

Consortium Develops New Method to Manipulate Genetic Material
A multi-institutional team of researchers, including scientists at the Beckman Center, have developed a powerful tool for genomic research and medicine. The robust method will allow researchers to generate synthetic enzymes that can target and manipulate DNA sequences for inactivation or repair.

Mission: Transposable elements are a powerful creative force. They constitute the majority of genomic DNA in many eukaryotes, and they dramatically shape the genetic code by causing mutations, rearrangements and sequence duplications. In this post-genomics era, transposable elements have been embraced as tools for genome analysis and manipulation. The mission of the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center for Transposon Research is to develop and disseminate transposon-based biological tools that enable responsible genome engineering to benefit humankind.
