Researchers can insert DNA fragments or genes into a plasmid vector, creating a so-called recombinant plasmid. This plasmid can be introduced into a bacterium by way of the process called ...

A scaleable method for the liquid-phase separation of plasmid DNA from RNA. In the course of experiments on the potential of nucleic acid compaction for enhancement of chromatographic adsorption ...

allowing for their mass production and launching recombinant biotechnology as we know it. In 1973, the Cohen-Boyer team introduced a plasmid fragment from one strain of Escherichia coli, conferring ...

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 ...

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 ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

Recombinant yeast cells can be used as a vector to produce proteins that would normally be found in animals or plants. Recombinant yeast cells are used during DNA Recombinant technology as they ...

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 ...

These Biosafety–Recombinant and Synthetic DNA policies and procedures exist to ensure that all research and activities involving the use of altered or synthetic and potentially hazardous DNA or RNA ...

Immunizing the host with a piece of viral DNA rather than an antigenic protein fragment of the virus, helps to stimulate the generation of cell-mediated immunity (Fig. 2). DNA vaccines contain the ...
