Biotechnology

by Georgina Cornwall, PhD

Broadly speaking, the field of biotechnology aims to create or alter products or scientific processes for specific use cases by harnessing living organisms, biological systems, or their derivatives. The biotechnological techniques emphasized in this course, however, are those that take advantage of the complementary structure of double-stranded DNA molecules to synthesize, sequence, and amplify them, as well as to analyze and identify unknown polynucleotide sequences. Included within this course on biotechnology are those practical applications which directly impact humans, such as medical applications, human gene therapy, and pharmaceuticals.

Topic is not comparing the topics from previous topics in the table form. Then students will remembered

 
cutting the dna
By Jasmine M. on 27. September 2021 for Cutting the DNA

in depth knowledge on DNA splicing, ecor 1 and so the base pairs want to stick together and then ligase comes along to stick together the backbones, the phosphate-sugar backbones. Here you can see how the two pieces come together and now we have a recombinant DNA molecule. Again, we are generally looking at a circular chromosome and a foreign piece of DNA being inserted into that circular chromosome and so we'll see two ends of sticky ends and insertion of that sequence.

This lecture gave me a brief knowledge on how rDNA is made.
