Learn about key methods and milestones that made DNA cloning possible
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. Learn how these early scientists experimented with the building blocks of molecular biology to shape the field of molecular cloning.
