When the genomes of parents come together to create the genome of a child, their DNA recombines; similar parts are rearranged so that a child carries sections of their parents genomes that have been ...

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 ...

A recent study, undertaken by researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan University and the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science (both Japan), unravels key steps in the process of homologous ...

Maria Jasin, PhD, whose research on DNA repair has transformed our understanding of cancers, has been selected as the 2025 recipient of the Greengard Prize.

Sweetpotato, a critical food crop for millions, has finally had its genetic code fully decoded after decades of mystery.

Heat and cold reshape fertility in reptiles, from scrambled sperm to sex reversal, with lessons for evolution under climate ...

I'm currently enjoying slogging through the finer details of eukaryotic recombination but need some suggestions for decent learning material online. My prof isn't terribly impressive, and there's no ...

A huge budget increase proposed by the president. Numerous legislative initiatives at the federal and state level. Public fears of biological harm. That is the new reality brought to us by ...

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 ...
