Shanghai. November 15 (Gasgoo.com) - By 2010 half of Chery-made vehicles will be hybrid and 20 percent of Chery-made vehicles will be powered by new energy, an official from Chery said at an international forum on renewable energy held in Beijing, China's Securities Journal reported today.

Scientists studying biological systems at the molecular level now have a new hybrid technique to probe the dynamics of the Holliday junction. The Holliday junction is a four-stranded DNA structure that forms during a process known as homologous recombination, which occurs when damaged DNA is repaired. Understanding how DNA repairs itself is an essential step in ultimately developing therapies for genetic disorders.
