Although recombinant DNA technology first emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, the basic principle of recombination had been discovered many years earlier.

Recombinant DNA technology combines genetic material from different sources, enabling the production of novel proteins, gene therapies, vaccines, and genetically modified organisms, revolutionizing ...

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.

Recombinant DNA technology allows scientists to manipulate DNA material outside of a living organism to create tailored genetic combinations.

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 ...

Biotech companies use recombinant DNA to insert genes coding for useful products into bacteria and other organisms, turning them into tiny factories for making things from medicine to industrial ...

Recombinant DNA research helped lay the groundwork for modern medicine. But, before Harvard could build a laboratory to do it, University scientists had to overcome the staunch fears that the ...

Long DNA synthesis is an evolving technology that aims to custom-make genes and genomes. Once this technology becomes affordable, will it still be useful to cut and paste DNA? Pawan Dhar analyses ...

Researchers at the USC School of Pharmacy indicate that recombinant DNA technology may allow for oral administration of drugs that previously could only be given by injection.

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) has many uses in the society of today, from research and biotechnology to the medicine stocked on the shelves of pharmacies. The ability to manipulate the creation of DNA ...
