Plantas. [Plants]
El 7 de marzo de 2010 fue publicado en línea y rectificado el 25 de marzo del mismo año en la revista Nature, una de las revistas científicas más prestigiosas del mundo, una investigación del cinvestav Irapuato en colaboración con científicos de Estados Unidos y Francia en la cual hallaron una proteína llamada argonauta 9 con la que se podría llegar a inducir la clonación natural de las plantas, esto tendría un fuerte impacto en la industria de semillas, y algunos dicen que podría revolucionar la producción agrícola internacional.

Ratones Knockout [Knockout mice]
Un ratón knockout o ratón KO es un ratón modificado por ingeniería genética para que uno o más de sus genes estén inactivados mediante una técnica llamada gene knockout. Su propósito es comprender el papel de un gen que ha sido secuenciado pero del que se desconoce su función o se conoce de forma incompleta. Inactivando el gen y estudiando las diferencias que presenta el ratón afectado, los investigadores pueden inferir la probable función de ese gen. El ratón es el organismo modelo más próximo a los seres humanos en los que esta técnica se puede realizar con facilidad, de modo que es el sujeto favorito de los experimentos de noqueo, especialmente cuando se plantean cuestiones genéticas relacionadas con la fisiología humana. El noqueo de genes en ratas es mucho más difícil y solo se ha logrado después de 2003.
[A mouse knockout or KO mouse is a mouse genetically engineered to have one or more of its genes are inactivated by a technique called gene knockout. Its purpose is to understand the role of a gene has been sequenced but the function is unknown or incompletely known. Inactivating the gene and studying the differences presented by the affected mice, researchers can infer the probable function of that gene. The mouse is the closest model organism to humans in which this technique can be performed easily, so it's the favorite subject of knockout experiments, especially when they consider genetic issues related to human physiology. The knockout gene in mice is much more difficult and has only been achieved after 2003.]
