The Molecular Cell Biology Unit of University X is working on a particular gene segment called ABC20. For a specific kind of experiment, they need to quantify the gene and require a lot of copies of the gene. The initial gel run showed a very faint band of the gene which made the quantification process difficult to proceed. Now propose a method with the help of which they can generate many copies of the gene. Here you need to know that they have the plasmid from where they can get the gene. You do not need to explain the process in detail rather answer in no more than 10 sentences on what can be done about this problem!
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.
