Recombinant DNA technology
- Recombinant DNA technology
- A series of procedures used to join together (recombine) DNA segments. A recombinant DNA molecule is constructed (recombined) from segments from 2 or more different DNA molecules. Under certain conditions, a recombinant DNA molecule can enter a cell and replicate there, autonomously (on its own) or after it has become integrated into a chromosome.

a body of techniques that isolate specific DNA sequences, create recombinant molecules by splicing together segments of DNA from different sources, introduce the recombinant sequences into cells and amplify them, and employ the products in a variety of analytic, therapeutic, and industrial applications.
