You wish to insert a gene in the plasmid below. (Note the neon green lines represent restriction sites.) amp gene BamHI Sacl Saçl EcoRI BamHI 33 BamHI -Gene of interest Chromosomal DNA from human cells a) Which restriction enzyme should you use to cleave the plasmid? Explain your answer. b) How would you create a cDNA library for the chromosomal DNA containing the gene of interest? c) The green area on the plasmid is the ampicillin resistance gene. Explain how you would use it to screen for a recombinant plasmid.
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.
