More isn't always better: Too much calcium has risks. Dietary calcium is generally safe, but more isn't necessarily better, and excessive calcium doesn't provide extra bone protection. If you take calcium supplements and eat calcium-fortified foods, you may be getting more calcium than you realize.
Genetic Recombination in Bacteria. This is a process where genetic materials, contained in two separate genomes, are brought together within one unit. In bacteria the recombination takes place by (1) transformation, (2) transduction and (3) conjugation.
(courtesy of Bruce Fouke). The terms recombinant DNA technology, DNA cloning, molecular cloning, or gene cloning all refer to the same process: the transfer of a DNA fragment of interest from one organism to a self-replicating genetic element such as a bacterial plasmid (cloning vector).
