Summary Introduction

Introduction: Genome is defined as the complete genetic material that is present in an organism. It consists of the coding as well as the non-coding parts of DNA. The study of the genome utilizes an important technique by which multiple and exact copies of a gene can be produced. This technique is termed as gene cloning. The gene cloning technique contains an important agent known as a recombinant vector. This vector is used to transfer the “gene of interest” to the host organism.
