摘要

In 2001, half a decade after researchers announced the arrival of Dolly, the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic stem cell, scientists in the private sector decided to clone a pet cat. A couple of years later the enterprise went commercial, and eager pet owners lined up for the service. However, disappointment inevitably ensued: although the clones were genetically identical to the original pets, cloned cats often looked and acted nothing like their predecessors. Michael Grunstein, were he so inclined, might have said, "I told you so." Grunstein, a distinguished professor of biological chemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), has devoted a lifetime of research to exploring how identical genes can be expressed differently to create unique individuals. Elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2008, Grunstein's findings have unraveled the secrets behind the subtle interplay among genes, proteins, enzymes, and chemical markers that determines how genes and gene components are read, expressed, transferred, and copied. These secrets were discovered not by working with people-or even cats-but with yeast.
