Recombinant DNA (rDNA) refers to artificial DNA molecules that are created by combining genetic material from different sources. This technology involves the insertion of DNA fragments from one ...

Recombinant DNA is one of the first stories in modern biotechnology history. The National Museum of American History contains collections which trace this foundational technique of genetic engineering ...

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...

Recombinant antibodies (rAbs), also called genetically engineered antibodies, are produced by cloning the antibody which is made of light and heavy chain DNA sequences. In comparison to monoclonal ...

Humans can use advances in DNA technology to manipulate DNA within the laboratory and improve micro-organisms. During recombinant DNA technology a fragment of DNA can be cut out and inserted into a ...

In September 1970, Janet Mertz joined the biochemistry department at Stanford University. She was one of only six new graduate students in the department and the first female one admitted in nine ...

There is great incentive to genetically engineer crops that possess desirable traits like greater biomass production and resistance to pathogens while requiring less resources, including space and ...
