A Sticky Situation: Recombinant DNA Technology Janet Mertz’s work with simian virus 40 DNA during her graduate years was pivotal for developing DNA recombination as we now know it.

The VP2 gene of canine parvovirus (CPV) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and cloned in pTargeT mammalian expression vector. The recombinant plasmid containing VP2 gene in right orientation ...

While traditional monoclonal antibodies are derived from hybridoma technology, the recombinant antibodies are formed by cloning specific genes that convert the variable regions of the antibody ...

The famed 1975 conference about a controversial genetic technology is feted as an example of how scientific self-regulation works. But more significant is what wasn’t discussed.
