Read this article to learn about the nature, concept and types of gene. The different types of gene are: (1) Pseudo-Genes (2) Overlapping Genes (3) Multi-Gene Families (4) Split Genes and (5) Cryptic Genes. Nature of Gene: The characteristic of every organism is governed by factors of inheritance termed as genes. As centuries have passed the scientists have learned more [...]
This article throws light upon the top five screening strategies of gene libraries. The top five screening strategies are: (1) Screening by DNA Hybridization (2) Screening by Colony Hybridization (3) Screening by PCR (4) Screening by Immunological Assay and (5) Screening by Protein Function. 1. Screening by DNA Hybridization: The target sequence in a DNA can be determined with a [...]
Read this article to learn about the creation of gene libraries with diagram. Gene Libraries: The collection of DNA fragments (specifically genes) from a particular species represents gene libraries. The creation or construction of gene libraries (broadly genomic libraries) is accomplished by isolating the complete genome (entire DNA from a cell) which is cut into fragments, and cloned in suitable [...]
