Transformation • All of the previous steps were performed in vitro. • We have generated a very small amount of a recombinant plasmid • Need to amplify in bacteria to get enough to work with. • Transformation – process to mobilize DNA into bacterial host • Select for transformed bacteria on specific antibiotic that corresponds to the antibiotic resistance gene present on the plasmid
How to produce a recombinant protein 0.1 to 1% of cellular protein 10 to 70% of cellular protein
cDNA Library cDNA
DNA hydridization screening for specific gene • Requires that you know something about the gene sequence • Can get sequence information form purified protein

Genetic Modification of Higher Organisms • Can introduce gene into animals and plants • These modified organism are powerful research tools to study the effect of a specific gene product on metabolism, development etc…. • Has also been used to develop improved agricultural products
