A team of researchers has created the very first gene-edited dogs using a cloning process that involves skin cells. South Korean biotech company ToolGen, along with Chungnam National University, ...

Biology is no longer being hampered by the cell environment thanks to cell-free technology that makes it easier to clone DNA. Located in Tokyo, Japan, OriCiro Genomics is a pioneer in cell-free ...

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 ...

Reproductive Cloning is the process of making a full living copy of an organism. Reproductive cloning of animals transplants nuclei from body cells into eggs that have had their nucleus removed. That ...

In biosafety testing, the expression “dot your i’s and cross your t’s” comes to mind. If only biosafety testing were so simple. But it isn’t. Yes, biosafety testing does require that we attend to the ...

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 ...

Pets such as dogs and cats generally have a shorter lifespan than their owners, and most owners are left grieving the loss of their pets. In recent years, advances in cloning technology have led some ...
