A technology that uses enzymes to cut and paste together DNA sequences of interest. The recombined DNA sequences can be placed into vectors that carry the DNA into a host cell. In this host cell, the ...

Scientists are working to develop an operational definition of "epigenetics" -- a rapidly growing research field that investigates heritable alterations in gene expression caused by mechanisms other ...

A storage architecture that uses synthetic DNA. Developed by molecular biologists, digital data is encoded as a sequence in the DNA and decoded by sequencing the DNA. Compared to hard drives and solid ...
