The process involves using specialised enzymes called restriction enzymes to cut the source DNA at desired sequences and isolate fragments of interest. DNA ligase, another enzyme, is then used to fuse ...

In September 1970, Janet Mertz joined the biochemistry department at Stanford University. She was one of only six new graduate students in the department and the first female one admitted in nine ...

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) refers to artificial DNA molecules that are created by combining genetic material from different sources. This technology involves the insertion of DNA fragments from one ...

In the early 1950s, experiments by two teams of researchers, Salvador Luria working with Mary Human and Joe Bertani working with Jean Weigle, showed that some strains of bacteria were more resistant ...

DNA restriction enzymes, with their widespread applications in many diagnostic procedures (e.g., RFLP, PCR, etc), are the very cornerstone of recombinant DNA technology. Unfortunately, their transport ...

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. LOS ANGELES, May 6 - ...

We now take it for granted that we can use recombinant DNA technology to express a wide range of proteins for use in many research and commercial applications, particularly in the field of human ...

We previously described in a paper published in BIOS an undergraduate lab activity involving the gene cloning, expression, and purification of Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase, an enzyme used in ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. In a series of experiments between ...
