Virtual Recombination

1998
Have you ever wondered how DNA from one plant or animal is recombined with another to create (for example) a genetically altered super tomato? This site explains the whole process, from unzipping the double helix to manipulating its components with enzymes and other "tools." Just remember, don't run with your molecular scissors! There's also an excellent set of links for further study and animations.
