I can’t believe this needs to be said. TransGENIC mice are not TransGENDER mice

Despite his teacher’s opinion that he couldn’t learn simple biology, John Gurdon went on to receive a #NobelPrize, thanks to his classic frog experiment, which showed that the DNA of mature frog cells has all the information needed to develop all cells in its body. #WorldFrogDay

At EXRC we use tadpoles to test links between changes in patients' genomes and disease, e.g. in a newly discovered brain disease https://t.co/CNAU9HNxU2. These links are essential for supporting patients. #RareDiseaseDay. Look out for new work on PURA coming soon #PURAsyndrome
