Here we describe two methods for generating DNA fragments with single-stranded overhangs, like those generated by the activity of many restriction enzymes, by simple methods that do not involve DNA ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kits for COVID-19 use what’s known as gene cloning – not reproductive cloning – to detect the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but social media posts ...

While the traditional cloning workflow has been used in laboratories for decades, new techniques have emerged that allow for rapid assembly of multiple genetic fragments. The Electra Vector System, ...

Researchers often call the polymerase chain reaction test – known as the PCR test – "the gold standard" for detecting the COVID-19 virus. The test is considered highly reliable and effective, and it ...

Nearly three decades since the remarkable cloning of Dolly the sheep, it has all gone quiet on the human cloning front.
