Recombinant DNA Technology

Science / Genetics / Recombinant DNA Technology: Procedure used to join together dna segments in a cell-free system (an environment outside a cell or organism). Under appropriate conditions, a recombinant dna molecule can enter a cell and replicate there, either autonomously or after it has become integrated into a cellular chromosome.
