In the early 1950s, experiments by two teams of researchers, Salvador Luria working with Mary Human and Joe Bertani working with Jean Weigle, showed that some strains of bacteria were more resistant ...

Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites are called endonucleases; these enzymes play many roles in genomic replication, fidelity, and defense. The initial discovery of restriction endonucleases in the ...

Molecular cloning refers to the replication and recombination of DNA molecules. The first cloning experiments were carried out in the 1970s, when restriction endonucleases were discovered. Restriction ...

Displayed here are 23 pairs of chromosomes -- one copy of the human genome. How is the genome sequenced? Let's do a little sequencing ourselves to find out... Current technology lets us read only 500 ...

Geoff Wilson, Senior Scientist and Division Head of the Restriction Enzyme Division at New England Biolabs, describes these fascinating enzymes from the perspective of someone who has been there from ...

Endonuclease R changed Richard Roberts’ career trajectory and created an industry. In this virtual summit, academic and industry leaders will explore cutting-edge trends and technologies shaping the ...
