After the Huntington disease gene (HD) was mapped in 1983, it was essential to develop approaches that would increase the chance of isolating DNA clones from the short arm of chromosome 4p. The first ...

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 ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a progressive degeneration of the retina with bone spicule-like pigment deposits, is one of the most frequent hereditary causes of blindness. The disorder is genetically ...

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 ...

Scientists from Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins, Rutgers, and the University of Trento in Italy have developed LASSO cloning, a new molecular technique. LASSO cloning can be used to ...

Researchers have pioneered a new method which allows them to rapidly recruit disease resistance genes from wild plants and transfer them into domestic crops. The technique called AgRenSeq or speed ...

It’s common knowledge that cloning has broken the bonds of sci-fi, and that labs around the world are experimenting with cloning techniques. But how exactly does cloning work, and why haven’t we heard ...

The pJAZZ ® BigEasy ® Linear Cloning Kit offers the ability to stably reproduce large or challenging sequences of DNA. Conventional vector systems often fail to give reliable results with ...

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 ...

Researchers in China cloned five monkeys from an individual that had been gene-edited to be susceptible to certain diseases. The scientists said having a population of uniform macaques with specific ...
