The two used a new technique called expression cloning to fish out the TNF receptor in a mere three months.

For example, if a yeast cell was genetically modified to include a particular gene, this technique would allow the expression of that gene to come under precise control.

This combination of technique allows for precise control of gene expression in yeast, which is something that can be useful for genetic engineering.

The result is that biologists can study the expression of many different genes at the same time, a technique spectacularly illustrated last year by a group of researchers at Harvard who produced what they called brainbows.
