John's Response

I learned that there were different forms of OI and that the different types ranging in different levels of severity. Through evolution, it is amasing how there is such a great similarity between the chicken and human. And, a possibility for the their differences is a divergence from a common ancestor. Gene targeting can be a difficult process and it is impressive how gene therapy could target the defective genes with a hope to help the OI patient.

Great answers, guys! I'm glad you were able to take some information away from this paper on OI. Your next blog assignment will be discussed in class.
