FucM, eh! Wonder if they can find another that turns bigots off? Maybe the FucU gene will do it!

QuoteThe gene in question was the "fucose mutarotase" gene — abbreviated as FucM.

Researcher: Gee, I wonder what will happen if we disable the "FucM" gene.

And they said scientists didn't have any sense of humor!

Currently, they are working on activating the FucNrd gene to see if this increases sexual activity of female mice to higly intelligent males. After that, they are going to clone Kelly LeBrock.
