It is estimated that the photooxidation of isoprene results in an annual production of about 2 million tons of the new compounds.

... 1970, U-M professor emeritus John B. (Jack) Burch traveled to Tahiti to study the native snails, which had not yet been decimated by the rosy wolf snail. Hiking deep into valleys where the snails were found, Burch collected several thousand specimens.

"We think the genes traveled from the capillaries through the relatively large holes that exist in liver cells," Wolff says, adding that the technique has become a successful research tool for many laboratories around the world.
