Scientists are always looking for ways to better human lives, and the use of recombinant DNA (rDNA) is one of their methods. Like with anything, though, there are pros and cons to rDNA technology.

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification ... 2022.3170599, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) Recombinant DNA technology involves the insertion of one piece of DNA into another. This process allows for ...

recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology was accepted globally; there are no 'Frankenpills' on posters. Responses to genetic engineering in plant breeding have been fundamentally different. Framed as ...

“I had publishable data documenting the highly efficient synthesis of SV40-lambda-gal recombinant DNA by the beginning of June 1972, a month and a half after I did my first ligation!” Mertz’s work ...

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...

However, genetic engineering technology poses ethical, societal, and security challenges. This brief explores these risks, ...

The new technology that has brought questions about genetically modifying humans back on the agenda is called CRISPR-Cas9. It stands above previous methods for genetic engineering in both its ...

However, the modern era of biotechnology began with the discovery of DNA structure in 1953 and the development of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s. Since then, biotechnology has rapidly evolved ...

Resistance to diseases could be introduced into susceptible crops using genetic engineering. Not only can this protect the crop, it can also safeguard farmers' livelihoods. An example is ...
