Manipulation of organisms or their components to make useful products |
Biotechnology |
|
The direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes |
Genetic Engineering |
|
DNA molecules formed by cloning DNA segments from 2 different sources |
Recombinant DNA |
|
Small circular DNA molecules that replicate separately from the bacterial chromosome. |
Plasmids |
|
Recognize and cut specific sections of DNA |
Restriction enzymes |
|
The specific site/sequence of DNA at which restriction enzymes cut |
Restriction sites |
|
results of many cuts of DNA by restriction enzymes |
Restriction fragments |
|
Restriction enzymes cut DNA on each fragment creating 2 ________, which can bind complementary DNA strands. |
Sticky ends |
|
ampR |
Ampicilin resistance gene, bacteria stays alive signifying re-uptake of some plasmid. |
|
lacZ gene |
enzyme that breaks down lactose that has the restriction site at its center |
|
collection of recombinant clones produced from DNA fragments from an entire genome |
genome library |
|
cloning DNA in vitro by reverse transcription of all mRNA produced by a cell, doest represent a whole genome, just transcribed genes |
complementary DNA (cDNA) |
|
Three step cycle heating, cooling, and replicating target segments of DNA molecules. |
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) |
|
Heat resistance enzyme used in PCR |
Taq Polymerase |
|
Machine used in PCR to rapidly heat and cool DNA segments |
thermocycler |
|
A technique that uses a gel as a sieve to separate nucleic acids or proteins by size, electrical charge, and other properties |
Gel Electrophoresis |
|
DNA fragments produced by a restriction enzyme (restriction fragments) digestion of a DNA molecule are sorted by gel electrophoresis |
Restriction Fragment Analysis |
|
Differences within a population of restriction sites between 2 DNA segments (e.g. alleles) |
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) |
|
A version of PCR where modified version of fluorescent tagged nucleotides are incorporated into and terminate synthesized DNA strands. |
dideoxyribonucleotides (ddNTP) analysis |
|
A technique using a single template strand that is immobilized and amplified to produce an enormous (thousands to hundreds of thousands) number of identical fragments. |
Next-Generation Sequencing |
|
1. Genome fragmented 2. Each fragment isolated with a bead 3. Using PCR, 10^6 copies of each fragment made each attached to bead at 5' end 4. Bead place into well with DNA polymerase and primers 5. Solution of each of the 4 nucleotides added to all wells and washed off 6. If nucleotide join strands, PP released, solution flashes. |
Next-Generation Sequencing |
|
Individual strands of nucleic acids used to capture complementary strands of DNA or RNA and thereby indicate their presence in a sample |
Nucleic Acid Hybridization - probes |
|
Using probes for mRNA ________ can measure the expression of thousands of genes at one time. |
DNA micro assays |
|
_________ uses fluorescent dyes attached to probes to identify the location of mRNAs in place of an in tact organism. |
In situ hybridization |
|
Genetic regions used to identify gene profiles |
Short tandem repeats (STR's) |
|
Two techniques used to amplify then compare STR's of different lengths are__________. |
PCR and gel electrophoresis |
|
Moving the nucleus from a donor cell (taken from an individual that you want to clone) to a recipient cell (a cell from a host that will allow the cell to grow). |
Nuclear transplantation |
|
a relatively unspecialized cell that can reproduce itself indefinitely and differentiate into specialized cells of one or more types |
Stem cells |
|
stem cells from early embryos capable from differentiating into many cell types |
pluripotent cells |
|
How are skin cells used for stem cells? |
Skin cells are harvested, and transformed into iPS (induced pluripotent cells) by using a virus to introducing stem cell master regulatory genes |
|
the alteration of an afflicted individual's genes. |

|
______ are used for delivery of genes into specific types of cells, for example bone marrow |
Vectors (eg. virus) |
|
animals made by introducing genes from one species into another. |
Transgenic animals |
|
These animals can serve as pharmaceutical "factories" producing difficult substances to obtain for medical use (e.g. proteins expressed in goat milk) |
Transgenic animals |
|
The most commonly used plasmid for introducing new genes to plant cells |
Ti plamsid |
