It did not take long for environmental history to shift towards using biology to explain history.
Once we detected them, we used molecular biology and biochemistry to find where in the body they were.
Then used genetic biology to modify the physical structure of their leader, so he is as you see him now.
Using synthetic biology, the bacteria are usually genetically altered.
The research also shows the value of using biology to detect environmental change.
"Why can't we use biology to come up with better ways of doing it?"
"We're using biology to solve problems that chemistry can't," he said.
We can use biology to make clean gas.
"Something in nature controls this tick population, and we are using basic biology to find out what the factors are."
It was also written up in the Times, which called his achievement "the most dramatic of a series of recent accomplishments using molecular biology."
