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, ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

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 ...

Most of the scientists who gathered in Washington earlier this month to talk about human cloning agreed that cloning an entire human being–besides being morally questionable–was fraught with technical ...

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 ...

A man's love for his dog ran so deep, he cloned her — not once, but twice. On the outside, they look like 3-month-old puppies, but genetically, these three dogs are nearly identical thanks to cloning ...
