Definition

  • Recombinant DNA (rDNA) is an artificial form of DNA intentionally produced with molecular biology techniques that allow disparate sequences of DNA to be joined together. The first use of the rDNA technique dates back to 1973, when Stanley N. Cohen and his colleagues published an article detailing a technique for isolating and amplifying genes or DNA segments and inserting them into bacteria.
