Introducing this composite into a bacterial host cell allows the segment to be replicated thousands or even millions of times in a collective process known as recombinant DNA technology.

The genome structure—how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism—is fundamental to the processes and ...

This is the first gene editor to use a CRISPR-associated transposase to make targeted edits at therapeutically useful levels in humans.

In 1982 Food and Drug Administration approved Humulin, Eli Lily’s recombinant insulin made from Genentech’s specially modified bacteria. It was the first drug produced through recombinant DNA ...

This plasmid can be introduced into a bacterium by way of the process called transformation. Then, because bacteria divide rapidly, they can be used as factories to copy DNA fragments in large ...

A group of researchers, including scientists from the DTU National Food Institute, have developed a method that, with the help of artificial intelligence and DNA decoding, can predict how well disease ...

Undergraduates in the lab will take part in activities to develop and refine standard operation procedures related to bacterial culture, genomic DNA isolation, sequencing library construction and DNA ...

S ome bacteria, it turns out, have proteins much like ours that organize the DNA in their cells. They just do it a bit ...

A new study reports that 26 new bacterial species were found growing inside cleanrooms associated with NASA space missions.

A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the scientific world. Developed from a derivative of the immune system of bacteria, CRISPR enables double strands ...

A few years ago, the advent of technology known ... of the immune system of bacteria, CRISPR enables double strands of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to be cut. This makes it possible ...
