You're not likely to hear it brought up in casual conversation, but recombinant DNA has changed the world in a relatively ...

The 50th anniversary of a landmark biosafety conference is an opportunity to ensure its spirit lives on in today’s scientists.

A technology that uses enzymes to cut and paste together DNA sequences of interest. The recombined DNA sequences can be placed into vectors that carry the DNA into a host cell. In this host cell ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Colossal Biosciences said it used ancient DNA from the extinct species to create three dire wolf pups named Romulus, Remus ...

In the context of the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules, recombinant DNA molecules are defined as either: molecules that are constructed outside living cells by joining ...

Janet Mertz’s work with simian virus 40 DNA during her graduate years was pivotal for developing DNA recombination as we now know it. Berg was awarded one-half of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980 ...

A new study in the journal Human Gene Therapy indicates that DNA impurities derived from plasmid and host cell DNA are encapsulated into recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) capsids as ...
