  2. Recombinant DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombinant_DNA

    Recombinant DNA is widely used in biotechnology, medicine and research. Today, recombinant proteins and other products that result from the use of DNA technology are found in essentially every pharmacy, physician or veterinarian office, medical testing laboratory, and biological research laboratory.

  3. Genetic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering

    The first recombinant DNA molecule was made by Paul Berg in 1972 by combining DNA from the monkey virus SV40 with the lambda virus. As well as inserting genes, the process can be used to remove, or "knock out", genes. The new DNA can be inserted randomly, or targeted to a specific part of the genome. [1]

  4. Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA - Wikipedia

    Additionally, the conference along with public debates on recombinant DNA, increased public interest in biomedical research and molecular genetics. For this reason, by 1995, genetics and its vocabulary had become a part of the daily press and television news.

  5. Genetic recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_recombination

    In genetic engineering, recombination can also refer to artificial and deliberate recombination of disparate pieces of DNA, often from different organisms, creating what is called recombinant DNA. A prime example of such a use of genetic recombination is gene targeting, which can be used to add, delete or otherwise change an organism's genes.

  6. Molecular cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_cloning

    Molecular cloning takes advantage of the fact that the chemical structure of DNA is fundamentally the same in all living organisms. Therefore, if any segment of DNA from any organism is inserted into a DNA segment containing the molecular sequences required for DNA replication, and the resulting recombinant DNA is introduced into the organism from which the replication sequences were obtained ...

  7. History of genetic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_genetic_engineering

    DNA ligases, that join broken DNA together, had been discovered earlier in 1967 [20] and by combining the two enzymes it was possible to "cut and paste" DNA sequences to create recombinant DNA. Plasmids, discovered in 1952, [21] became important tools for transferring information between cells and replicating DNA sequences.
