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 ...

Berg was awarded one-half of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980 for his work with recombinant DNA technology. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal ...

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 ...

Gene editing was a new idea in the mid-1970s. So when two of America's most prestigious research institutions planned a new facility for work in recombinant DNA, the technology that lets scientists ...
