In the context of the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules, recombinant DNA molecules are defined as either: molecules that are constructed outside living cells by joining ...

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 ...

A huge budget increase proposed by the president. Numerous legislative initiatives at the federal and state level. Public fears of biological harm. That is the new reality brought to us by ...

How did the idea of recombinant protein emerge? Recombinant proteins were proposed by Peter Lobban who was the first person to produce and replicate recombinant DNA in 1972 and 1973. The recombinant ...

The 1975 International Conference on Recombinant DNA Molecules held at the Asilomar Conference Center in California has cast a long shadow. Groundbreaking at the time, the meeting of scientists to ...

Gene editing was a new idea in the mid-1970s. So when two of America's most prestigious research institutions planned a new facility for work in recombinant DNA, the technology that lets scientists ...

In the summer of 1974, a group of international researchers published an urgent open letter asking their colleagues to suspend work on a potentially dangerous new technology. The letter was a first in ...
