But that turned out to be just the prelude to a triumph, a breakthrough in recombinant DNA technology that directly benefits millions of Americans today. In this episode, Dr. Villa-Komaroff tells ...

Although recombinant DNA technology first emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, the basic principle of recombination had been discovered many years earlier.

Long DNA synthesis is an evolving technology that aims to custom-make genes and genomes. Once this technology becomes affordable, will it still be useful to cut and paste DNA? Pawan Dhar analyses ...

A Sticky Situation: Recombinant DNA Technology Janet Mertz’s work with simian virus 40 DNA during her graduate years was pivotal for developing DNA recombination as we now know it.

Recombinant DNA technology allows scientists to manipulate DNA material outside of a living organism to create tailored genetic combinations.

Biotech companies use recombinant DNA to insert genes coding for useful products into bacteria and other organisms, turning them into tiny factories for making things from medicine to industrial ...
