Playing with Building Blocks: The Origins of Molecular Cloning Tools and Techniques
Scientists accept bacterial competency, restriction enzyme digestion, recombinant DNA technology, and DNA assembly as simple, fundamental laboratory tools, but these methods were hard won by early trailblazing scientists. In this webinar, brought to you by The Scientists’ Creative Services team, learn how Janet Mertz and Rich Roberts experimented with the building blocks of molecular biology to shape the field of molecular cloning.
