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 ...

But before the explosion in recombinant DNA could begin, scientists would have to learn not only how to transfer DNA, but also how to isolate and modify individual genes. Key Developments in ...

But before Harvard could build a laboratory to do it, University scientists had to overcome entrenched fears that this form of genetic engineering — recombinant DNA technology — would produce ...

Scientists are always looking for ways to better human lives, and the use of recombinant DNA (rDNA) is one of their methods. Like with anything, though, there are pros and cons to rDNA technology.

It was the first drug produced through recombinant DNA technology and among the first genetically engineered products to be available to consumers. Following the success of Humulin, recombinant DNA ...

Mertz chose Paul Berg as her mentor in December 1970 because he was just starting to figure out how to construct recombinant DNA containing simian virus 40 (SV40) that could be replicated and possibly ...

The first letter, “Potential Hazards of Recombinant DNA Molecules,” called for a moratorium on certain experiments that transferred genes between different species, a technology fundamental to ...

Recombinant antibody production involves the use of recombinant DNA technology to produce an antibody. In this blog post, you will learn all about the process of recombinant antibody production ...

The discovery of recombinant DNA proved that biology, not chemistry alone, could create new medicines like life-saving ...

The Purdue University Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) reviews research protocols involving the use of recombinant DNA (rDNA), synthetic nucleic acids, and/or biohazardous agents that present a ...
