In another experiment using Quikchange to amplify the pQE.1-CRYGD plasmid containing our mutation, you added all needed components properly including primers and template DNA, but your Quikchange still doesn't work. One change was made to the protocol in step 1, you performed your reaction at 50 degrees C instead of 95 degrees C. Why didn't the reaction work? In the next attempt, you add dNTPs, polymerase, buffer, and your primers, but forgot to add your template DNA. Why did you know that the reaction could not work without template DNA?
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.

Introduction
A common laboratory method for producing several copies of a specific DNA region is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The target region can be created in large numbers by the PCR process since the reaction is continually performed through a sequence of temperature adjustments. Using one nucleotide per site, the QuikChange Multi-location mutation method is a revolutionary approach that enables mutagenesis at several sites in a single cycle. This approach makes it easier to randomize essential amino acids by using oligos with defective codons.
