The protein, reverse transcriptase, has become an essential tool for making DNA copies of RNA.

Gene editing was a new idea in the mid-1970s. So when two of America's most prestigious research institutions planned a new facility for work in recombinant DNA, the technology that lets scientists ...

Recombinant proteins are conventionally generated by transfecting the recombinant DNA into a host cell, following which the host cells are cultured and the transfected DNA transcribed and translated.
