2. Biotechnology – pg. 140 in Cliffs Ch. 20 in text  Recombinant DNA – a combination of DNA segments from two different sources  Can occur through transduction, conjugation, transformation  Can also occur during crossing over during meiosis in eukaryotes  Biotechnology – use of biological systems to produce products like medicine  Often use bacteria and viruses in experiments and production of products

3. Recombinant DNA technology  Set of lab techniques for combining genes from different sources.  Requires the “cutting” of DNA using restriction enzymes  Restriction enzymes cut DNA at very specific sequences called restriction sites  Using bacterial plasmids we can clone specific genes to produce proteins of interest  Ex. Medicine, farming, oil clean up

11. DNA cloning 1.Use restriction enzyme to cut a sample of DNA in test tube – this will create fragments with sticky ends, some will have our gene of interest 2.Cut a plasmid (cloning vector) with one restriction site for the restriction enzyme – the plasmid will now have the same sticky ends (plasmid should also be resistant to antibiotic like ampicillin) 3.Mix the foreign DNA with the plasmids 4.Apply DNA ligase

12. Transformation Time  Place the engineered plasmid into bacterial culture (in test tube)  Heat shock and let transformation occur  Plate the bacteria and those that grow on ampicillin will have “transformed” with the foreign gene of interest

13. Genomic Library  At the end, the bacteria now contain our gene of interest – genomic library  Now the gene can be transcribed and translated to make the protein of interest  This DNA is without introns because it was made from mRNA using reverse transcriptase before the experiment. cDNA

16. Storing Cloned Genes in DNA Libraries A genomic library that is made using bacteria is the collection of recombinant vector clones produced by cloning DNA fragments from an entire genome A genomic library that is made using bacteriophages is stored as a collection of phage clones A clone carrying the gene of interest can be identified with a nucleic acid probe having a sequence complementary to the gene This process is called nucleic acid hybridization © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Reproductive Cloning of Mammals In 1997, Scottish researchers announced the birth of Dolly, a lamb cloned from an adult sheep by nuclear transplantation from a differentiated mammary cell Dolly’s premature death in 2003, as well as her arthritis, led to speculation that her cells were not as healthy as those of a normal sheep, possibly reflecting incomplete reprogramming of the original transplanted nucleus © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

39. DNA Sequencing Relatively short DNA fragments can be sequenced by the dideoxy chain termination method, the first automated method to be employed Modified nucleotides called dideoxyribonucleotides (ddNTP) attach to synthesized DNA strands of different lengths Each type of ddNTP is tagged with a distinct fluorescent label that identifies the nucleotide at the end of each DNA fragment The DNA sequence can be read from the resulting spectrogram © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
