Frontiers of Biotechnology

1. Frontiers of Biotechnology

2. Frontiers of Biotechnology DNA Fingerprinting Manipulating DNA Tools Genetic Engineering Copying DNA Applications Genomics & Bioinformatics Genetic Screening & Gene Therapy

3. Manipulating DNA Restriction Enzymes Cut DNA into small pieces Small pieces can be separated by:Gel Electrophoresis Some leave “sticky ends” which are useful for Biotechnology Creates “Restriction Maps”(Banding Patterns that separate DNA by fragment size)

4. Manipulating DNA Gel Electrophoresis PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction DNA Fingerprinting Recombinant DNA Separates DNA Fragments Makes Millions of Copies of DNA Compares DNA of Individuals and Organisms Transfers DNA Between Organisms and Species
