  2. Recombinant DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombinant_DNA

    Recombinant DNA molecules are sometimes called chimeric DNA because they can be made of material from two different species like the mythical chimera. rDNA technology uses palindromic sequences and leads to the production of sticky and blunt ends. The DNA sequences used in the construction of recombinant DNA molecules can originate from any ...

  3. In vitro recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_recombination

    Recombinant DNA (rDNA), or molecular cloning, is the process by which a single gene, or segment of DNA, is isolated and amplified. Recombinant DNA is also known as in vitro recombination. A cloning vector is a DNA molecule that carries foreign DNA into a host cell, where it replicates, producing many copies of itself along with the foreign DNA.

  4. Molecular cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_cloning

    Molecular cloning takes advantage of the fact that the chemical structure of DNA is fundamentally the same in all living organisms. Therefore, if any segment of DNA from any organism is inserted into a DNA segment containing the molecular sequences required for DNA replication, and the resulting recombinant DNA is introduced into the organism from which the replication sequences were obtained ...

  5. Genetic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering

    Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the modification and manipulation of an organism's genes using technology.It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.

  6. Genetic recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_recombination

    Recombination can be artificially induced in laboratory (in vitro) settings, producing recombinant DNA for purposes including vaccine development. V(D)J recombination in organisms with an adaptive immune system is a type of site-specific genetic recombination that helps immune cells rapidly diversify to recognize and adapt to new pathogens.

  7. Homologous recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homologous_recombination

    At some undetermined point, the RecBCD subunits disassemble. Step 6: The RecA-ssDNA complex invades an intact homologous duplex DNA to produce a D-loop, which can be resolved into intact, recombinant DNA in two ways. Step 7: The D-loop is cut and anneals with the gap in the first DNA to produce a Holliday junction.

  8. Genetic engineering techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering_techniques

    The first step is to identify the target gene or genes to insert into the host organism. This is driven by the goal for the resultant organism. In some cases only one or two genes are affected. For more complex objectives entire biosynthetic pathways involving multiple genes may be involved.

  9. DNA shuffling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_shuffling

    In StEP, brief cycles of primer annealing to a template and extension by polymerase are employed to generate full-length sequences. [31] [32] The main advantages of StEP are the simplicity of the method and the lack of fragment purification. [7] [13] The disadvantages of StEP include that it is time consuming and requires sequence homology. [7 ...
