The circular plasmid DNA is opened using the same endonuclease that was used to cleave the genomic DNA. Join the ends of DNA with the enzyme, DNA ligase. The inserted DNA is joined to the plasmid DNA using another enzyme, DNA ligase, to give a recombinant DNA molecule. The new plasmid vector contains the original genetic information for replication of the plasmid in a host cell plus the inserted DNA. cloning DNA cloning DNA : Introduce the new vector into host The new vector is inserted back into a host where many copies of the genetic sequence are made as the cell grows and divide with the replicating vector inside. Isolate the newly-synthesized DNA or the protein coded for by the inserted gene. The host may even transcribe and translate the gene and obligingly produce product of the inserted gene. Alternatively, many copies of the DNA gene itself may be isolated for sequencing the nucleic acid or for other biochemical studies. cloning DNA cloning DNA : cloning DNA Slide 99: cloning DNA Slide 100: cloning DNA cloning DNA : cloning DNA electrophoresis : electrophoresis Slide 103: electrophoresis Slide 104: electrophoresis Slide 105: If DNA is too large for conventional electrophoresisâĤ. electrophoresis Slide 106: bioprocess control control : control so where are the computers? convergence of biotech and information technology : convergence of biotech and information technology automated sequencing (Celera) gene chips and microarrays high throughput screening data visualisation and data mining web-based clinical trials and FDA submission in silico simulations of biological systems control : control control : control control : control control : control molecular modelling simulation bioinformatics monitoring expert systems expert systems : expert systems Automate the Implicit Understanding Heuristic Reasoning More than Rule Based Reason over âeventsâ Events -- Qualitative Description Sensors Empirical Models Lab Data Historical Data Human expert systems : expert systems expert systems : expert systems information flow : information flow Christian Cimander and Carl-Fredrik Mandenius.

The circular plasmid DNA is opened using the same endonuclease that was used to cleave the genomic DNA. Join the ends of DNA with the enzyme, DNA ligase. The inserted DNA is joined to the plasmid DNA using another enzyme, DNA ligase, to give a recombinant DNA molecule. The new plasmid vector contains the original genetic information for replication of the plasmid in a host cell plus the inserted DNA. cloning DNA cloning DNA : Introduce the new vector into host The new vector is inserted back into a host where many copies of the genetic sequence are made as the cell grows and divide with the replicating vector inside. Isolate the newly-synthesized DNA or the protein coded for by the inserted gene. The host may even transcribe and translate the gene and obligingly produce product of the inserted gene. Alternatively, many copies of the DNA gene itself may be isolated for sequencing the nucleic acid or for other biochemical studies. cloning DNA cloning DNA : cloning DNA Slide 99: cloning DNA Slide 100: cloning DNA cloning DNA : cloning DNA electrophoresis : electrophoresis Slide 103: electrophoresis Slide 104: electrophoresis Slide 105: If DNA is too large for conventional electrophoresisâĤ. electrophoresis Slide 106: bioprocess control control : control so where are the computers? convergence of biotech and information technology : convergence of biotech and information technology automated sequencing (Celera) gene chips and microarrays high throughput screening data visualisation and data mining web-based clinical trials and FDA submission in silico simulations of biological systems control : control control : control control : control control : control molecular modelling simulation bioinformatics monitoring expert systems expert systems : expert systems Automate the Implicit Understanding Heuristic Reasoning More than Rule Based Reason over âeventsâ Events -- Qualitative Description Sensors Empirical Models Lab Data Historical Data Human expert systems : expert systems expert systems : expert systems information flow : information flow Christian Cimander and Carl-Fredrik Mandenius.
