Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences produced in a laboratory by joining genetic material from multiple sources.
Genetically engineered deoxyribonucleic acid that has been altered by joining genetic material from two different sources (usually different species). Deoxyribonucleic acid that has been modified by deletion or addition of genetic information.
DNA formed by the joining of genes (genetic material) into a new combination.
DNA extracted from two or more different sources and joined together to form a single molecule or fragment. This technology is used to produce molecules and organisms with new properties.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule in which genes have been artificially rearranged and genetic material from another organism, sometimes a member of another species, has been inserted. Replication of the new recombined DNA results in genetic changes in the organism. Recombinant DNA technology is being used to produce human insulin and growth hormone and is being investigated for many other medical applications.
Altered DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) created by the insertion of a portion of DNA from another source. Recombinant DNA has been altered by chemical, biological, or enzymatic means to enable the foreign DNA that is placed in the host DNA to be replicated along with the host DNA.
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid containing genes from various sources that have been combined by genetic engineering.
A DNA segment from one organism is artificially inserted into the DNA of another organism, often a virus or bacterium, through a process known as genetic splicing. This is typically done to enable the recipient cell to produce a substance it wouldn’t naturally generate. For instance, a DNA section encoding the hormone insulin might be inserted into a target cell. If that cell is then stimulated to multiply, it could potentially produce insulin in large quantities.
