  1. Genetic Engineering 1 Lecture 18 Pages 323 - 340

  2. The Tools of Molecular Biology

  3. Old fashioned way was to breed for what you wanted 10_01_experiment.DNA .jpg Man has been doing this since the Agricultural revolution, some 10,000 years ago… The Chinese have been doing it! Mendel did it too!

  4. What do we do NOW… • Breeding is still used. • However, quicker and more results orientated methods now exist due to technology. • First, we may need to filter the cell types… • Label target cells with florescent dye attached to characteristic cell specific proteins • Brain cells have some unique proteins • Liver cells have other unique proteins, etc.

  5. Still used - an automated cell sorter 10_02_cell_sorter.jpg

  6. Once you have the cells what next? • OPTIONS • Issue was to examine the DNA in a consistent manner • Best method (Restriction Digestion) is to use restriction enzymes (REs) • Come mainly from bacteria • They are bacterial immune systems against foreign DNA • They are all Proteins • Many types have been isolated from different species of bacteria • Scientists use REs individually or in a mix

  8. What do you do with these digested fragments of DNA? • Isolate those that you want to work on • How? • Best method is to use gel electrophoresis • Agarose • Polyacrylamide

  10. Then what do you do with this piece of DNA? • EITHER • Clone • Sequence • Rely on the use of dideoxy nucleotides

  14. Other methods used Shotgun cloning In the Dark…

  16. Problems with this method What can they be?

  22. Blotting Purpose = to make a permanent record of the results of a gel electrophoresis. The compass - • Southern blots - DNA • Northern blots - RNA • Western blots - Proteins • Eastern blots - ?
