Label:
Recombinant revolution
Description:
The recombinant revolution allowed DNA to be moved between species.
The stage was set for a technological revolution. Scientists had figured out how to cut, paste, and copy DNA. What remained to be done, however, was to apply these techniques to actually edit and customize DNA. This creation of "recombinant DNA" would manipulate living things at the most basic level.
Could scientists create organisms that combined the genes of different species? Could this help save lives, or could it threaten them?
