Making a Gene Product Figure 9.12 (1 of 2)
E. coli • Used because it is easily grown and its genomics are known • Need to eliminate endotoxin from products • Cells must be lysed to get product
Therapeutic Applications • Subunit vaccines • Nonpathogenic viruses carrying genes for pathogen's antigens as vaccines • Gene therapy to replace defective or missing genes
RNA Interference (RNAi) Figure 9.14
Scientific Applications • Understanding of DNA • Sequencing organisms' genomes • DNA fingerprinting for identification Figure 9.17
