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 ...

Matthew Hayes (Left) is the Chief Technology Officer and founder at Evonetix, a groundbreaking gene synthesis technology company created in 2015, where he deploys his expertise in multi-disciplinary ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared ...

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 ...

The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both methods are widely used, the research found that they identify different genes, ...

The rDNA debate was initiated by the molecular biologists leading the research, and within a year expanded to include the public. Fourteen key participants representing molecular biologists, ...

The AI2Health cluster of the Ken Kennedy Institute and the Synthetic Biology Institute at Rice University hosted a debriefing and collaborative discussion session on the Spirit of Asilomar summit June ...
