In the early 1950s, experiments by two teams of researchers, Salvador Luria working with Mary Human and Joe Bertani working with Jean Weigle, showed that some strains of bacteria were more resistant ...

Restriction enzymes are essential tools for recombinant DNA technology that have revolutionized modern biological research; however, they have limited sequence specificity and availability. The ...

Research by Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Huimin Zhao and graduate student Behnam Enghiad at the University of Illinois is pioneering a new method of genetic engineering for basic ...

Modular cloning and expression of complex genetic assemblies are becoming widely popular. Recent applications based on site-specific and homologous recombination have substantially improved the ...

Molecular cloning is a technique used to create DNA experimental tools that are expressed in either bacterial or mammalian cells. Molecular cloning is defined as the isolation and amplification of a ...
