Presentation Transcript

  1. Biotechnology Analysis of Clonal DNA DNA Cloning Stem Cells Practical Applications of DNA Technology

  2. DNA Cloning Recombinant DNA • Major tool-restriction enzymes; discovered in late 1960’s, cut DNA at restriction site, highly specific, manufactured by bacteria • Cloning vector-carrier for moving DNA into a cell • http://www.wehi.edu.au/education/wehitv/restriction_enzyme_ecor1/

  3. Procedure for cloning a eukaryotic gene in a bacterial plasmid

  4. How to get a eukaryotic gene to function in a prokaryote • Basic problem: introns!! • Solution: production of cDNA • (artificially produced DNA that is made by using reverse transcriptase on a mRNA)

  5. DNA Libraries • DNA can be cut with restriction enzymes and inserted into plasmids, inserted into bacteria, and stored; whole genome is maintained • cDNA libraries eliminate everything except the genes

  6. PCR-polymerase chain reaction • Rapid amplification of a piece of DNA • Billions of copies in a few hours • Used by CSI, • Jurassic Park? • Prenatal diagnosis

  7. Gel Electrophoresis • Produces DNA “fingerprints” • Separates RFLP’s by using an electrical field • Can be used to identify some genetic diseases • Presence of a particular gene • Used as genetic markers

  8. Other Technologies • Hybridization • Human Genome Project • Physical mapping • Sequencing DNA • Genome Analysis (DNA sequences, gene expression, and gene function)

  9. Cloning Plants

  10. Cloning Animals-nuclear transplantation

  11. Stem Cells • Unspecialized cell that can reproduce and differentiate • Types of stem cells Embryonic stem cells from blastula Adult stem cells

  12. Practical Applications of DNA Technology • Disease diagnosis • Gene Therapy • Pharmaceutical products • Forensic uses • Environmental applications • Agricultural applications

  13. iRNA
