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 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 technologies developed in the early 1970s enabled scientists to isolate genes of interest and splice them into existing DNA structures. However, as late as the early 1980s, the ...

Recombinant antibody technology has been leveraged to mitigate a range of common problems associated with hybridoma platforms, helping to facilitate the development of an entirely new class of ...

The development of early monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies centered around the hybridoma platform requires the production of target antigen or immunogen and animal immunizations. This means there ...

Genetic technologies have the potential to help solve the ever-growing challenges of food insecurity and global health. But for this potential to be met, regulations that hinder scientific innovation ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...
