Work done by American geneticist [[Barbara McClintock]] showed that [[gene|genes]] could jump between DNA strands. Biologists can now transfer genes from one organism to another. For example, genes that stop deep-water fish from freezing in the [[Antarctic]] can now be put into a tomato, to make it resistant to frost.
