While cloning creates a genetically identical copy, CRISPR functions as a sort of genetic scissors to cut and customize DNA.

5 latest biotechnology breakthroughs, from genome sequencing to microbiome manipulation, revolutionizing medicine, ...

Gene Cloning creates copies of genes or DNA fragments. Gene cloning is the most common form of cloning performed by researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute.

Colony picking is a very labor-intensive task that is generally performed during cloning protocols, alongside additional upstream and downstream processes. Manual colony picking is both slow and ...

Colossal Biosciences bold announcements about its project to replicate dire wolf traits have drawn criticism from many ...

Cell-Free DNA Cloning Cell-based methods for cloning DNA that rely on E. coli are time-consuming and inefficient. OriCiro has developed new DNA cloning techniques that bypass E. coli completely ...

Prior to the development of PCR in the 1980s, the primary method for producing many copies of a gene was a relatively time-consuming process known as DNA cloning.

After the Huntington disease gene (HD) was mapped in 1983, it was essential to develop approaches that would increase the chance of isolating DNA clones from the short arm of chromosome 4p. The ...

Cloning a Neanderthal isn't the only bold idea Church has proposed. The professor envisions a world where viruses are fought by changing the genetic code of humans.
