  2. Recombinant DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombinant_DNA

    Recombinant DNA is widely used in biotechnology, medicine and research. Today, recombinant proteins and other products that result from the use of DNA technology are found in essentially every pharmacy, physician or veterinarian office, medical testing laboratory, and biological research laboratory.

  3. Molecular cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_cloning

    Molecular cloning takes advantage of the fact that the chemical structure of DNA is fundamentally the same in all living organisms. Therefore, if any segment of DNA from any organism is inserted into a DNA segment containing the molecular sequences required for DNA replication, and the resulting recombinant DNA is introduced into the organism from which the replication sequences were obtained ...

  4. List of recombinant proteins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recombinant_proteins

    The following is a list of notable proteins that are produced from recombinant DNA, using biomolecular engineering. [1] In many cases, recombinant human proteins have replaced the original animal-derived version used in medicine. The prefix "rh" for "recombinant human" appears less and less in the literature.

  5. Biopharmaceutical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopharmaceutical

    However, in most cases, the term is used more restrictively for a class of therapeutics (either approved or in development) that are produced using biological processes involving recombinant DNA technology. These medications are usually one of three types: Substances that are (nearly) identical to the body's key signaling proteins.

  6. Vector (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(molecular_biology)

    In molecular cloning, a vector is any particle (e.g., plasmids, cosmids, Lambda phages) used as a vehicle to artificially carry a foreign nucleic sequence – usually DNA – into another cell, where it can be replicated and/or expressed. [1] A vector containing foreign DNA is termed recombinant DNA.

  7. Genetic recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_recombination

    Recombination can be artificially induced in laboratory (in vitro) settings, producing recombinant DNA for purposes including vaccine development. V(D)J recombination in organisms with an adaptive immune system is a type of site-specific genetic recombination that helps immune cells rapidly diversify to recognize and adapt to new pathogens .

  9. In vitro recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_recombination

    Recombinant DNA (rDNA), or molecular cloning, is the process by which a single gene, or segment of DNA, is isolated and amplified. Recombinant DNA is also known as in vitro recombination. A cloning vector is a DNA molecule that carries foreign DNA into a host cell, where it
