29 ◆ Cohen與 Boyer合作創(chuàng)建重組 DNA分子 ● To some historians, the discipline of DNA technology came into being over pastrami sandwiches at a local delicatessen in Waikiki Beach. The year was 1972. ● It happened that Herbert Boyer was at a scientific conference in Hawaii speaking about the EcoRl restriction enzyme. Stanley Cohen was in the audience. ● After the presentation, Cohen invited Boyer to lunch to explore their possible collaboration on a series of experiments. ● The two researchers sat and considered the experiments that would send DNA technology into a new era.

Boyer agreed, and the bargain was struck.
