Metallothionein - human GH fusion genes stimulate growth of mice.

Brinster and Palmiter created the first "transgenic" animals, transferring non-native genes into mice through genetic engineering techniques. The cover of the issue of Science magazine in which this paper was published includes a picture of a normal mouse and a human growth-hormone enhanced mouse. With G. Norstedt, R. E. Gelinas, R. E.
