Aditya M. Nair*, Anslet Mary and Saanya Yadav

Abstract

This article is an examination of the principles of recombinant DNA technology. The scientific development and subsequent analysis of rDNA and its applications in various areas such as the production of vaccines, antibiotics, hormones and in distant hybridisation continues to influence the researchers all over the globe today. This article examines the research done and published by researchers and scientists. Consideration of current trends and data in scientific queries and demonstrates further aspects of principles of recombinant DNA technology. Additionally, this article explores options for uses of rDNA in various different areas such as vaccines for cancer immunotherapy and lassa and filo virus, production of antibiotics using Acremonium chrysogenum strains for rDNA, treatment of diabetes using insulin analogs, production of various hormones like human erythropoietin, gonadotropins, etc using synthetic bacteria, amongst others and use of this technology in distant hybridisation.

Keywords: Recombinant DNA, Vaccines, Hormones, Antibiotics, Distant Hybridisation.
