Haven't discovered this one which looks interesting - newscientist.com "...Chromos have developed a way to implant genes into the satellite DNA. They can implant multiple copies of the same gene, and implant genes far larger than is possible in any other "gene shuttle" technique for ferrying DNA into cells. Once modified, the artificial chromosome can be duplicated hundreds of thousands of times. The company says that the amount of protein produced rises in step with the number of gene copies, and that the chromosome does not interfere with natural chromosomes and so should be safer than inserting genes into host DNA. Because the company is about to sell shares on the Canadian stock market, it is barred from talking to the media. But in a prospectus available to the public, Chromos says it plans to insert the chromosomes into cells which will be grown in fermenters to produce beneficial proteins and to genetically engineer animals so that they produce valuable proteins in their milk..."
