Biology is no longer being hampered by the cell environment thanks to cell-free technology that makes it easier to clone DNA. Located in Tokyo, Japan, OriCiro Genomics is a pioneer in cell-free ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins, Rutgers, the University of Trento in Italy, and Harvard Medical School report they have developed a new molecular technique that can be used to isolate thousands of long ...

Molecular cloning refers to the replication and recombination of DNA molecules. The first cloning experiments were carried out in the 1970s, when restriction endonucleases were discovered. Restriction ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kits for COVID-19 use what’s known as gene cloning – not reproductive cloning – to detect the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but social media posts ...

Bacterial cells often possess molecules of closed, circular DNA, otherwise known as ‘plasmids’. They can also be present at much lower frequencies in certain eukaryotic cell types, such as yeast. They ...

Scientists successfully cloned a black-footed ferret using DNA of a frozen relative that died in 1988 for the first time in US history. Elizabeth Ann was born on 10 December and is a genetic copy of a ...
