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 ...

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

The existing literature on the development of recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering tends to focus on Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer's recombinant DNA cloning technology and its ...

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

Researchers at the USC School of Pharmacy indicate that recombinant DNA technology may allow for oral administration of drugs that previously could only be given by injection.

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