In this article we will discuss about the meaning of transgenic mice. Cloned genes can be introduced into the germ line cells of an animal allowing study of the intact animal rather than in cultured cells. For this purpose, the nucleus in mouse embryonal cells has been used for injecting foreign DNA. The goal in such experiments is to have [...]
In this article we will discuss about the definition and strategies of genetic engineering. Definition of Genetic Engineering: The deliberate modification in genetic material of an organism by changing the nucleic acid directly is called genetic engineering. Genetic engineering holds the potential to extend the range and power of every aspect of biotechnology. The techniques will be used widely to [...]
In this article we will discuss about vectors used in genetic engineering. Cloning Vector: By cloning, one can produce unlimited amounts of any particular fragment of DNA. In principle, the DNA isolated and cut pieces are introduced into a suitable host cell, usually a bacterium such as Escherichia coli, where it is replicated, as the cell grows and divides. However, [...]
