Introducing YAKs into human cells

[Roger Reeves]

Au contraire. Any cell that can be transformed with DNA by Ca phosphate, 
microinjection, lipofection or electorporation or that can be used in a 
somatic cell hybrid fusion can be the recipient of a YAC, independent of 
species of origin.  There is no known taxism in transformation.
