Study Notes
Molecular Genetic Techniques
- Primary focus of Molecular Genetic Techniques Part I and II: analyzing and manipulating genetic material at the molecular level
Recombinant DNA Technology
- Function: enables the creation of new DNA molecules by combining different DNA sequences from different sources
- Allows for the introduction of desired traits into organisms, gene expression, and protein production
Recombinant DNA
- Definition: a form of DNA that is created by combining genetic material from different sources, such as different organisms
Nucleases in Molecular Genetics
- Main function: to cut DNA molecules at specific recognition sites, facilitating the manipulation of genetic material
DNA Cloning
- Involves: creating multiple copies of a DNA segment, typically using a vector (e.g. plasmid) to replicate the desired DNA sequence in a host organism
