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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of North America’s most endangered species is getting a new lease on life thanks to technological innovations. This past ...

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 ...
