  3. Overview of DNA manipulation

  4. II. Why? • A. More efficient, less expensive production • B. Genetic information • C. Genetic alteration

  5. III. Cloning ABC’s (Fig 9.1)

  6. A. Requirements • 1. Target DNA • 2. Cloning vector • 3. Cut and paste enzymes • 4. Put DNA into host • 5. Selection procedure

  7. cDNA Genomic DNA 1. Target DNA

  8. 2. Vector choice • a. Why a vector? • b. Plasmids • c. Viral vectors • d. YACs, MACs and HACs

  9. Restriction enzymes Ligase 3. Cut and paste enzymes (Fig 9.2)

  10. 4. Put DNA into host cell • Transformation • Electroporation • Protoplast fusion • Microinjection

  11. 5. Now, selection: Fig 9.11 • What is being selected? • Host grown on selective media

  12. III. Beyond the basics • A. How do you find your gene of interest? • B. A most marvelous “work-around” cloning • C. How to “fingerprint” a killer

  13. A. How do you find your gene of interest? • 1. Construct gene library • 2. Screen library

  14. B. A marvelous “work-around” • 1. Polymerase Chain Reaction • Amplification of any target DNA • 2. Requires • target • DNA polymerase • primers • http://vector.cshl.org/Shockwave/pcranwhole.htm
