POPSMen Are Easier To Clone Than Women "The difference in cloning rates of male and female stem cells seems likely to involve epigenetics," said Prof Fuchs. Epigenetic modifications are those that affect a gene's function without altering its DNA sequence. Because one of a female's two X chromosomes (men only have one) is turned off through epigenetic modifications, female cells have to undergo a more complicated epigenetic reprogramming than male ones and this may account for why males are easier to clone.

POPSPshsicists Dream Of Next Big Particle Smasher "We're in the middle of a particle physics revolution," Richter said. "The next 10 to 15 years will answr many questions and raise new ones," Richter said. "Regrettably, the experiments are bigger and more expensive...so finance will limit the pace of discovery." Richter said the International Linear Collider could be operational in 2012, provided it won enough international support.
