Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen created the first recombinant DNA organism using recombinant DNA technology, or gene splicing, which allows the manipulation of DNA. They showed that the gene for a frog ribosomal RNA could be transferred and expressed in bacterial cells. Boyer and Cohen removed plasmids, small rings of DNA located in a cell's cytoplasm, from a cell. Using restriction enzymes, they cut the DNA at precise positions and then recombined the DNA strands in their own way using DNA ligase enzyme. They then inserted the altered DNA into E. coli bacteria. The bacterial cells could be made to produce specific proteins using gene splicing. This technology was a major breakthrough for genetic engineering. Their experiments dramatically demonstrated the potential impact of DNA recombinant engineering on medicine and pharmacology, industry and agriculture.

NGF was discovered by Cohen and Levi-Montalcini
Who are the characters on The OC?
Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie) Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) Summer Roberts (Rachel Bilson) Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) Kirsten Cohen (Kelly Rowan) Julie Cooper (Melinda Clarke) .. I would say those are the 7 main characters, but it's interchangeable. Definitely the first four though!
Did Sir Isaac Newton have aspergers?
IDK. However, he is thought to have expressed autistic traits. Isaac Newton might have had asperger syndrome IMO.

How did Stanley Cohen and herbert boyer create the first genetically altered organisms?
they were very smart and they knew what they were doing
Who developed recombinant techiques and developed the field of modern molecular genetics?
Most people say it is Stanley Cohen yet that's not correct. The teacher says a person before his time. I am puzzed.
