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.

Gene therapy

______ 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
