Scientists clone marine DNA in drugs from the sea breakthrough

摘要

A team of international scientists has successfully cloned marine DNA in a break through they say will provide promising drugs from the sea to treat cancer and viral dis-eases,71FP reports.The team,working at the Australian Institute of Marine Science(AIMS),said that the cloning of DNA from marine organisms like sponges and sea squirts into E.coli bacteria could provide a sustainable supply of marine-derived phar-maceuticals.
