There&rsquo;s no turning back.    I think there also needs to be more awareness about the potential for genetics in agriculture, in crops, in personalized medicine, in disease treatment.  And that doesn&rsquo;t mean Frankenstein locked away in a lab somewhere.  It&rsquo;s very straight forward technology sometimes that just means what we&rsquo;re doing is improving the breeding of our livestock or the health of our crops without having to get involved in anything ultra futuristic or anything like that.  <\/em> <\/p>\n<p> Mike Spear says Alberta DNA Day will be marked with online conversations with geneticists and other activities listed at www.Facebook.GenomeAlberta.ca <\/p>\n<p><em><strong> Learn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n<p><strong>I&rsquo;M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02011-04-14<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 15th marks the first ever <strong>Alberta DNA Day.<\/strong> It was April 1953 that scientists James Watson and Francis Crick published their description of the double helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
