Recombinant DNA Technology. Restriction endonucleases - Blunt ends and Sticky ends. Restriction endonuclease and DNA ligase yield Recombinant DNA. DNA cloning. Polylinker – multiple restriction sites. Selection of clones. Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BAC). Transformation:
E N D
Restriction endonuclease and DNA ligase yield Recombinant DNA
Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BAC) Transformation: 1. Heat shock: CaCl2 at 0oC then heat to 37-42oC 2. Electroporation – apply high voltage BAC – 5,000 to 400,000 bp insert
DNA fingerprinting – RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism)
DNA microarrays Any known DNA sequence from any source, can be used in microarray. Green spots – mRNA more abundant in single-cell stage Red spots – mRNA more abundant at later stages of development
Cloned genes can be altered • Site-directed mutagenesis • Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis
