For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

A new study in the journal Human Gene Therapy indicates that DNA impurities derived from plasmid and host cell DNA are ...

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 ...

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 ...

The PCR machine increases and decreases the temperature of the sample in automatic, programmed steps. Initially, the mixture is heated to denature, or separate, the double-stranded DNA template ...

The Purdue University Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) reviews research protocols involving the use of recombinant DNA (rDNA), synthetic nucleic acids, and/or biohazardous agents that present a ...
