Human cloning. Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning, which is the reproduction of human cells and tissue. It does not refer to the natural conception and delivery of identical twins. The possibilities of human cloning have raised controversies.
Organism cloning (also called reproductive cloning) refers to the procedure of creating a new multicellular organism, genetically identical to another. In essence this form of cloning is an asexual method of reproduction, where fertilization or inter-gamete contact does not take place.
Ethics of cloning. In bioethics, the ethics of cloning concerns the ethical positions on the practice and possibilities of cloning, especially of humans. While many of these views are religious in origin, some of the questions raised are faced by secular perspectives as well. Perspectives on human cloning are theoretical, as human therapeutic ...
De-extinction. The Pyrenean ibex, also known as the bouquetin, is the only animal to have survived de-extinction past birth. De-extinction (also known as resurrection biology, or species revivalism) is the process of generating an organism that either resembles or is an extinct species. [1] There are several ways to carry out the process of de ...
Digital cloning is an emerging technology, that involves deep-learning algorithms, which allows one to manipulate currently existing audio, photos, and videos that are hyper-realistic. One of the impacts of such technology is that hyper-realistic videos and photos makes it difficult for the human eye to distinguish what is real and what is fake ...
t. e. Recombinant DNA ( rDNA) molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) that bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome . Recombinant DNA is the general name for a piece of DNA that has been created ...
Golden Gate Cloning or Golden Gate assembly [1] is a molecular cloning method that allows a researcher to simultaneously and directionally assemble multiple DNA fragments into a single piece using Type IIS restriction enzymes and T4 DNA ligase. [2] This assembly is performed in vitro. Most commonly used Type IIS enzymes include BsaI, BsmBI, and ...
Ligation-independent cloning (LIC) is a form of molecular cloning that can be performed without the use of restriction endonucleases or DNA ligase. The technique was developed in the early 1990s as an alternative to restriction enzyme/ligase cloning. [1] This allows genes to be cloned without the requirement of a restriction site for cloning ...
