Recombinant DNA, which is often shortened to rDNA, is an artificially made DNA strand that is formed by the combination of two or more gene sequences. This new combination may or may not occur ...

A Sticky Situation: Recombinant DNA Technology Janet Mertz’s work with simian virus 40 DNA during her graduate years was pivotal for developing DNA recombination as we now know it.

Argentina, widely regarded as the global capital of polo, has welcomed cloning and other breeding innovations. But CRISPR is different – for now.

Unfortunately, seeds containing genes for recombinant proteins can cause unintentional spread of recombinant genes or exposure of non-target organisms to new toxic compounds in the environment.

While traditional monoclonal antibodies are derived from hybridoma technology, the recombinant antibodies are formed by cloning specific genes that convert the variable regions of the antibody ...

Therefore, the use of recombinant DNA technology was an attractive option for development of a vaccine that solved both of these problems.
