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 often call the polymerase chain reaction test – known as the PCR test – "the gold standard" for detecting the COVID-19 virus. The test is considered highly reliable and effective, and it ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

While the traditional cloning workflow has been used in laboratories for decades, new techniques have emerged that allow for rapid assembly of multiple genetic fragments. The Electra Vector System, ...

Instead of requiring personalized gene edits for each patient, the new approach could create a standardized method to use for many diseases.
