Zijn er binnen 5 jaar terug mammoets?

Afbeelding
Over enkele jaren lopen er op deze planeet weer mammoeten rond. Dat zegt een Japanse professor. Akira Iritani van de Universiteit van Kyoto beweert dat het over vier jaar mogelijk is om de reusachtige dieren te klonen.   Iritani vertelt in de Britse krant The Daily Telegraph dat er een specifieke kloontechniek is waarbij een celkern wordt gewonnen uit bevroren huid- of spiercellen. De vorser zegt dat de eicel kan ingebracht worden bij een Afrikaanse olifant, draagmoeder van dienst dus.   " Nu de technische problemen zijn overwonnen, hebben we alleen nog maar een goed monster met zacht weefsel van een mammoet nodig ", klinkt het. " De slagingskans bij het klonen van vee was lange tijd heel slecht, maar nu zitten we op 30 procent. Ik denk dat we een redelijke kans hebben om binnen vier tot vijf jaar een gezonde mammoet te verwekken ", aldus de wetenschapper. De bewuste kloontechniek werd drie jaar geleden al eens succesvol gebruikt op een muis. Een andere Japanner k

Willem Ritstier: " Storm is natuurlijk een icoon binnen de stripwereld, waar de namen van Don Lawrence en Martin Lodewijk onlosmakelijk aan verbonden zijn. Om in hun voetstappen te treden is natuurlijk niet niks, maar Minck en ik hebben geheel in hun traditie een ijzersterk verhaal weggezet. " Het eerste album van Ritstier en Oosterveer 'De banneling van Thoem' is klaar en wordt eerst voorgepubliceerd in Eppo, voordat het eind van het jaar in albumvorm zal verschijnen. In dit nieuwe verhaal gaan Storm, Roodhaar en Nomad naar de Buitenring van Pandarve, waar het wemelt van piraten en ander gespuis. Ze raken er flink in de problemen wanneer Roodhaar in de ban komt van de banneling van

Vogels vallen dood uit de lucht (doemscenario vs technologisch complot)

> Een doemscenario-uitleg. Vogelsterfte: Is omkerend magnetisch veld verantwoordelijk? 07/01 Nu op meerdere plaatsen ter wereld hele zwermen vogels uit de lucht vallen en sterven (of is het omgekeerd?), rijst de vraag wat er gaande is. Op 1 januari vielen vogels uit de lucht boven het stadje Beebe; in de Amerikaanse deelstaat Arkansas. Verlamd door angst? Vergiftiging? De bliksem? Iets anders? Meerdere theorieën doen de ronde. Intussen zijn nabij de Zweedse stad Falköping honderd kauwen op onverklaarbare wijze gestorven (foto). In de zoektocht naar een verklaring wordt gesuggereerd dat de langzame omkering van het magnetisch veld van de aarde aan de basis van het vreemde fenomeen zou kunnen liggen. Dat magnetisch veld keert om de 500.000 jaar om. De laatste keer dat dit gebeurde, dateert echter al van 780.000 jaar geleden. Indien de omschakeling gebeurt, keren de polen om; Noord wordt plots Zuid (en omgekeerd). Communicatie via radio en satelliet zou kunnen uitval
