gene-splicing
Noun: - The technology of preparing recombinant DNA in vitro by cutting up DNA molecules and splicing together fragments from more than one organism: This refers to a set of laboratory techniques used to combine genetic material from different sources, creating DNA sequences that would not otherwise be found in a biological genome.
This term is used in scientific and technical contexts, specifically in the fields of molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology. It describes the core process of genetic engineering.
- Noun:
- The discovery of restriction enzymes was crucial for the development of gene-splicing.
- Modern medicine benefits greatly from gene-splicing techniques used to produce insulin.
- As a modifier: The term is often used as a noun adjunct to describe related technologies or products.
- The gene-splicing experiment was a success.
- They discussed the ethics of gene-splicing technology.
- Genetic engineering (n): A broader field that includes gene-splicing as a key technique.
- Recombinant DNA technology (n): A nearly synonymous term for gene-splicing.
- Splicing (n): The general act of joining pieces together; in genetics, it specifically refers to joining DNA fragments.
- DNA splicing
- Molecular cloning (in a specific context)
"Gene-splicing" specifically denotes the technical process of cutting and joining DNA fragments. It is a subset of genetic engineering, which encompasses a wider range of techniques including gene delivery and genome editing.
