- Genetic research creates dwarf trees
- Researchers at the Oregon State University OSU have used genetic manipulations to create midget trees. In fact, they can control tree height. For example, 'natural' poplars can reach 150 feet or more. These forest scientists have created poplars growing only to a height of 6 inches after two years. They...

- Half-Life 2 Hidden: Source mod beta 1.1 (Windows)
- In the early 1950's human genetics experimentation was taking its first, a team of British scientists working at a Infinitum Research experimental station stumbled across some remarkable phenomenon involving DNA manipulation. Time passed on, and by the mid 1990's the failure rate of the experiments had been reduced from 75%...
