Homologous Recombination for DNA Engineering
Description
Homologous recombination is a key method for DNA engineering in modern biology. It lets scientists change DNA by using matching stretches of sequence between different DNA molecules. This approach helps overcome limits of standard molecular cloning with restriction enzymes, which can be less useful for large or complex DNA c...

Transcript
Cloning by homologous recombination, or recombineering, has greatly improved researchers’ ability to conduct high-throughput genetic engineering. Classical molecular cloning requires digestion of vectors and inserts with the same restriction enzymes to generate compatible ends for “recombination,” but especially when trying to...
