  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003010",
  "term": "Deoxyribonucleic acid cloning",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The process of creating multiple identical copies of a specific deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence. This is typically achieved by inserting the DNA fragment into a vector, such as a plasmid, and then introducing the recombinant vector into a host cell for replication. DNA cloning is a fundamental technique in molecular biology and genetic engineering.",
