Chapter 20 introduce to biotechnology. After completing this chapter, students will be able to: Describe the natural function of restriction enzymes and explain how they are used in recombinant DNA technology; outline the procedures for cloning a eukaryotic gene in a bacterial plasmid; define and distinguish between genomic libraries using plasmids, phages, and cDNA; describe the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and explain the advantages and limitations of this procedure;. | Chapter 20 Biotechnology Overview: The DNA Toolbox Sequencing of the human genome was completed by 2007. DNA sequencing has depended on advances in technology, starting with making recombinant DNA. In recombinant DNA, nucleotide sequences from two different sources, often two species, are combined in vitro into the same DNA molecule. Methods for making recombinant DNA are central to genetic engineering, the direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes. DNA technology has revolutionized biotechnology, the manipulation of organisms or their genetic components to make useful products. An example of DNA technology is the microarray, a measurement of gene expression of thousands of different genes. Microarray Figure How can this array of spots be used to compare normal and cancerous tissues? DNA Cloning and Its Applications: A Preview Most methods for cloning pieces of DNA in the laboratory share general features, such as the use of bacteria and their plasmids. Plasmids are small circular DNA molecules that replicate separately from the bacterial chromosome. Cloned genes are useful for making copies of a particular gene and producing a protein product.
