Study Notes

Recombinant DNA Technology

Recombinant DNA technology is a process of combining genes from different sources into a single molecule, often to create a new organism with desired traits.

Gene Cloning

The main purpose of gene cloning in genetic engineering is to create multiple copies of a specific gene or DNA sequence, allowing for further study, manipulation, and application.

Definition of a Clone

In the context of biology, a clone is an exact genetic replica of an organism, cell, or DNA sequence.

Library Screening

The basic steps for library screening in recombinant DNA technology involve:
- Creating a library of recombinant DNA molecules
- Identifying specific DNA sequences or genes of interest
- Using probes or primers to locate the desired DNA sequence
- Isolating and characterizing the clone containing the desired gene

Applications of Recombinant DNA Technology

The main application of recombinant DNA technology is the production of recombinant proteins, such as insulin, growth hormone, and vaccines, which can be used to treat various diseases and medical conditions.
