Mechanism of Recombination

группа по молекулярной биологии и генетике микробиология биология Originally created for DNA Interactive ( ) TRANSCRIPT: A common technique in genetic engineering is to insert a new gene into a loop of bacterial DNA called a plasmid. The molecular tool used to cut DNA is a restriction enzyme such as EcoRI. The enzyme has a precise shape that allows it to run along the groove of the double helix, scanning for the base letter sequence G A A T T C EcoRI then cuts the plasmid at this specific point... ...allowing a new piece of DNA to be inserted. When it
